[ code deleted for brevity ] Thanks for the replies and good ideas. I liked Skip's idea about the scale widget, but Pedro is probably correct in his concerns of what it should really look like. The SpinButton was an easy way to ensure the user entered an integer but now I think I'm going to change things a bit. Let the user enter the number or the symbolic name and perhaps a list of some kind. Tying the protocol in doesn't help much since almost every service (at least those listed in /etc/services) are registered for both protocols. Anyway, thanks for the input. -- Steve McClure 430 10th St NW Racemi Suite N-210 http://www.racemi.com Atlanta, GA 30318 [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice/fax: 404-892-5850 _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk
