The tutorial didn't "work" correctly, but winforms.py seemed to work
OK.  Though I just did a simple form.Show() after executing, it so I'm
not sure that it is working completely.

The portion of the Tutorial that didn't work for me is listed below.
However, I when I executed 'from System.Windows.Forms import Form'
(instead of *) then form.Show() worked OK.


>>> from System.Windows.Forms import *
>>> form = Form()
>>> from System.Windows.Forms import *
>>> from System.Drawing import *
>>> f = Form()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in ##117
NameError: name 'Form' is not defined
