[Tkinter-discuss] Where am I in a scrolled Text()?

[Bob Greschke]

Whoa!  You guys are pretty smart.  This seems to give the "line" number of the first visible.  If text is wrapped in the Text() into a paragraph (multiple lines) the actual beginning of the "line" may be out of view, but that's no problem.  I missed the "@0,__" thing.  Works great!

Thanks!
