Dear Charles,

Sorry for the long delay!  Try to use the get() method of your scale
widget, and you should be able to read off its value.  Here's a sample bit
of code that shows how to do this.

###
from Tkinter import *

s = Scale()
s.pack(side=TOP)
def reportScaleValue(scale = s):
    print s.get()
b = Button(text="Press me!", command=reportScaleValue)
b.pack(side=TOP)
mainloop()

Good luck!
