Sorry for the attachment issue. I'm used to the wxPython-users Google
group, where posters are instructed to attach code to their post instead
of including it in the body of the message.
I placed the latest version of my sample code below, since I made a few
minor changes to it after posting it as that attachment. (I changed
REPLACE to INSERT OR REPLACE as I mentioned above, followed Chris'
suggestion to not use backslash continuation characters, and changed the
description of C++ as mentioned below.)
FYI, you can also view the version (now outdated) that I had attached on
the Google Groups website at:

Of course :). It's just for fun. I changed the description for C++ to
"Making Easy Things Hard & Hard Things Hard" (without the -er on the end).

Sorry about that. As you can probably tell, I'm relatively new to using
mailing lists. I'm not exactly sure why that occurred like it did. I'll
try adding "Re:" in front of the subject when I send this e-mail, and
see if it works right this time. If not, I guess you'll have to please
explain to me what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you again for your help.
