thank you very much, I have one more question that is tk related, I've use tkfileopendialog or whatever that name is to select files is there also a dialog for creating files, well not really creating them but allowing the same look and feel as many porgrams give for saving files? is there also a way/dialog whereby a user can specify a directory (if the application wanted to save multiple files into a 'project' folder)
Thanks agian for the quick and accurate response to my first question, a small follow-up.. is it considered bad style to include main methods(and if __name__== "__main__") in all user defined classes, I realize it's usefulness when testing individual classes. thanks very much Matt Totally aside PyDEV is so much better then trustudio it runs smooth and isn't such a resource hog.. not to mention free -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
