Tkinter and after

[Stephane Conversy]

excuse #1:
    someone has stolen my email adress, I did not write this one !
    nobody to believe me ?

excuse #2:

http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x8550-alarm-handlers-and-other.htm

    is not rendered by netscape the way it should, I missed the big 'after'
and took the little after that said tk blocks.
    you believe me now, do you ?

not a excuse #3:
    I apologize, I should read and test carefully.
