When you create a compound, it starts with the currently selected
widget and traverses the widget tree taking the original widget
and all children. Typically you would group widgets inside of a
frame and selecting the frame before creating a compound. You can
also use a toplevel as a container, but I haven't finished adding
support for this and some toplevel properties are left off.
You may be having a problem is you are using the "place" geometry
manager and the radio buttons are not children on the frame. To insure
that the radio buttons are children of the frame, make sure the frame
is selected when you insert the radio buttons. You can also tell by
opening the Window:Widget Info panel,
