Hello, Alex, 
thank you for your idea!
I have never used TKinter before  (I was exposed to Python just 6
months ago and "worked with it for not more than 3 weeks in that
time), so I didn't know of the existence
of something like "after()". I didn't find it in the examples, either
(viewer.py, plyer.py all do different things).

So I was lost...
I just thought I had a small problem which I could have solved by
browsing through the examples and then start to build-up from them.

Ok, now I can give it another try!
Thanks, again,
wolfgang
