Tkinter question

[david brochu jr]

I am trying to create a GUI that will display a new window with information
about my program when the user clicks on the info button (a green "i"
bitmap). So far all I can get my program to do is show the new window (using
Toplevel() ) when the program loads, not when the user presses the
information bitmap. I think it has something to do with my command for the
information button. Anyone have any ideas or have a GOOD resource that they
could point me to?

Thanks
