Ahhhh. Partial success with : command = Calc. A slider will now pass its 
argument to a function without problem. My Calc function however is 
expecting 3 arguments - 1 from each slider i.e moving any of the 3 
sliders should cause a recalculation. I am now getting the following error:
TypeError: Calc() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)

p.s your help is much appreciated....
