Just got done downloading Frederik's stuff. Not all of it is complete,
but it appears to be fairly thorough. I also have the Grayson, but I
appear to be missing something when it comes to the options,
and how to pass them, 
for instance vscrollmode..... python doesn't like it, even though it is
listed by Grayson as an option for scrolledtext.
I believe that Grayson has a site and a list. 
I will read a little Grayson and Fredirik's ....
Thanks
