That would be del root However it's somewhat unusual (though not unheard of) to call a window's mainloop method. A more usual structure calls mainloop() as a function. If your window isn't disappearing after its mainloop() method terminates, try calling its destroy() method. That ought to get rid of it! i.e. root.destroy() regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
