Yeah, it would be nice to use something like wxDesigner eventually, but right now I'd like to learn how to write it all by hand, so I can know what's going on. There are a couple of screencasts about using sizers with Dabo that are helpful, even though it's specific to that designer. It still shows how to layout nested sizers, for example. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
