[PythonCE] Using Tkinter

I used the package posted *with* the Tkinter files and unzipped it 
*into* the root directory as in the installation instructions.

So the tcl8.4.3 directory is in the root directory of my device.

It was with this distribution that I got the error message I posted.

What is slightly suspicious is that *nowhere* in this distrinbution does 
a directory "/lib/tcl8.4 " exist... so either it's an old message - or 
it's looking in the wrong place :-)

I *haven't* yet made the registry changes as it's not something I've 
done before - although I'm quite willing to have a go and have a program 
that will help me do it.... I'm trying to move the distribution onto the 
storage card as this will save me a lot of space - \\Storage 
Card\\Python is in sys.path - so it ought to work fine for the python 
files - I guess thi means I'm going to need to  make the registry 
changes anyway......

Any assistance much appreciated - it was very exciting to see a Tkinter 
window on my pocketPC.....  (Hey - I'm the kind of guy who gets excited 
by GUI windows.. ok ?) !!
