that's it! Thanks, that sorted me out. The readme at the following location was very helpful: http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/rebase/rebase-2.2.README I couldn't get rebaseall to work until I installed all of the packages mentioned in the readme.
Now I have a different problem, regarding Pmw menus, but I've posted a separate item on that. thanks again. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
