[Tutor] Button, Button, How do I put the Button

[Glen Wheeler]

(note: I'm still what I classify as newbie to tkinter, so watch out for what
I say....could be wrong!)

  I think what you are looking for here is documentation of the various
geometry managers that Tkinter uses (from Tcl/Tk).
  These are Place, Grid and Pack.  The documentation I refer from is John
Graysons book 'Python and Tkinter Programmin' which I have found extremewly
useful.  However there is more documentation located on the web - most
probably linked from somewhere in www.python.org.

  HTH,
  Glen.
