[Tkinter-discuss] Basic Tkinter help

[Michael O'Donnell]

Dear Ru-D,

The following line makes one window:

> root = Tk()

And your other line makes another:

> app = APP(root)   (APP being a Toplevel window)

So the root.withdraw() is quite correct (many of us use it, that is if
we don't make use of the main window for the application itself).
