main window in tkinter app

O.K. That, means I probably have something else wrong.  I will need to 
start with a 'clean slate' instead of trying to modify existing code. 
It's getting to convoluted to follow anyway after all the cobbling I've 
done.

If I get a repeat of the original problem I will post the code and the 
exact error message, but at least now I know It SHOULD work.

Thanks

Bill,
