Problem stopping Tkinter apps

[David Fuess]

Thanks David. That seems to work. I still have a "sys.exit(0)"
following the "root.destroy()" because the root=Tk() is inside the
application class __init__ definition. So I guess the sequence

Create application class
  Create Tk root
    Run app
  Destroy Tk root
Exit the application class

sorta makes sense.
