Summary: Erroneous error message from IDLE

Initial Comment:
I'm a Python beginner (wrote C programs before I needed GUIs) running 2.2.2 on Windows 98SE from the 
standard download from www.python.org.

I first put a frame ObRef  'f'   into a .grid() line instead of into the Label() line above it.  When I "fixed" it, I 
put the  'f' in the Label() but forgot to remove it from .grid().

IDLE's error message identified the erroneous line but reported that  '-bd'  was not allowed.  If it had 
identified  '-f'  as the culprit that would have saved me a lot of scrambling.

A screen-shot of the code and the error message are attached (MS Word .doc format).  The offending line 
is the seventh line in the code screen-shot.

Thanks.


Sorry if this is a duplicate.  I have searched the python.org FAQ and the Source Forge error list without 
recognizing this problem in any of their titles.
