[Tkinter-discuss] Forcing a window to update with while loop running

[Adam Kadzban]

Seems to be working - I have after() running to update the window's status
box, and check for the "stop" button press, as well as a forced update at
the end of the while loop to make sure it doesn't miss a button press .

Thanks again,
Adam
