Wasn't trying to say that you weren't giving wrong info; sorry if
I mistakenly implied that.  Since the online docs don't go into
great detail about about the difference between fill and expand for
the packer, I figured that I would throw that in.

Actually, Grayson's _Python and Tkinter Programming_ has only one chapter
on Python, which is only nine pages - the rest of the book is on Tkinter
(and PMW).  As a Python book, it would be pitiful. ;)  But yes, it really
only covers Tkinter (in pretty good detail) and not Tk.
