Here's that page without the frame:

I'm afraid I don't understand enough to know where to put this line:
self.txtBox.bind("<Key>", self.doKeyEvent)

Could you please do a copy and paste and shoot back the whole script so I 
can see what it does?

And thanks VERY much for your other detailed comments and suggestions.
