I have a Tkinter app that works for me until I use Toplevel to add a title. My efforts to use Toplevel have confused me, bringing an additional unwelcome blank window that I don't understand how to manage.
The question is simply "how do I confer Toplevel methods to a top level PanedWindow and still have the application run in a single window?" Thank you for any direct help or pointers to code that works that I could understand.
