The scrolling is the difficult part.  A Frame widget is not scrollable,
and for the most part, scrolling works with a single widget.  But you
can get it to work.

One suggestion (sorry that I can't really put up tested code, not really
feeling well) would be to get a list of listbox objects, create a callback
for Scrollbar that distributes the scrolling across the list.

I did this once, but can't find the code unfortunately.  I seem to
remember that it didn't really work well.

If you are attempting to make a clickable table, then you might think
about using the Text widget and tag_bind, with a fixed font (like
Courier).

Good luck,
