Where can I get this mapping spelled out? >For learning the basics of Tkinter I suggest the links that Kevin listed >above and/or Alex Martelli's "Python in a Nutshell" (an excellent >reference in any case). Although owning the 2nd ed. of "Python is a Nutshell", I hadn't thought of looking into it for Tkinker. There's a whole chapter, "Tkinter GUIs" (46 pages!). > Grayson's book is another reasonable alternative >(and includes enough reference material to keep you from having to refer >to the tcl/tk documentation very often). One web tutorial that looks good to me is "Thinking in Tkinter", by Stephen Ferg (<http://www.ferg.org/thinking_in_tkinter/index.html>). My thanks to all who responded.
