Glad I could help. It's a shame BLT has the installation issues it does 
on windows.  It really needs to be repackaged correctly.  Also you will 
probably also need to do the following which I posted earlier on the 
group, but will recopy it here as well.  (That way it will be easier for 
me to find it next time I need it. ;-)


BLT doesn't install in the correct directories on Windows. I found this
helpful.

     1.  Install BLT 2.4u into C:/Python23/tcl, using BLT's installer
(the one for Tcl/Tk 8.3). This gives you bin, include, and lib
subdirectories of C:/Python23/tcl, with all the BLT stuff in them.
     2. Copy C:/Python23/tcl/lib/blt2.4 into C:/Python23/tcl/tcl8.3.
     3. Put the BLT DLLs in a directory on your PATH (not necessarily a
system directory, it just has to be on your PATH)
