Well I'm really sure that will work on my installation: I already wrote 
a couple of small Tkinter scripts and they worked just fine... So I 
doubt whether I can reproduce this one (but I'll try anyway tonight).

That's right, but that's due to a 'try: except' that catches systemexits 
and such as well, even if you call 'sys.exit()' from a Python script it 
will leave the interpreter open... I can try to find that as well, don't 
know when I'm going to have time to browse through the pcceshell.py to 
search for that though...

P.S. Just noticed that I saw only your messages in the thread, obviously 
I'm not used to mailinglists that don't add their own address to the 
reply-to list ;) I'll try to keep it in mind, although I think your 
quoting made things clear enough for readers to follow the thread ;)
