Thanks Paul.  That has made more sense than all of my scrounging
combined, but I still need to mess around with the idea and code some.
How can I put something like the window delete into the command queue?
Isn't window.protocol() just binding the close window button to a
function?

I'll look deeper and experiment and try to make sense of it once again
tomorrow.  :)
