paramter passing question

[diffuser78 at gmail.com]

It partly works but I get error printed out on the console.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "NewProject.py", line 87, in OnEdit
    win = MyFrame4(self, -1, "",sim_name=sim_name)
  File "NewProject.py", line 1098, in __init__
    wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_windows.py",
line 476, in __init__
    newobj = _windows_.new_Frame(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: 'sim_name' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
