This would work as well, but for starters, I think "Search" and "Quit" buttons next to each other will be most familiar to the users of the current Tk-based control window. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
