  <beg>Please do!  It would help out the growing masses of Tkinter beginners
incredibly - especially if it was of the same quality as the rest of your
tutorial :)</beg>

  Anywho, I'm serious.  I'm past the stage of total beginner, but I can say
that I really would of liked a Tkinter section of your tutorial when I
started programming python - as it was I did your tutorial, argued with the
Grayson book for a week, read Fredrik's docs, argued with the Grayson book
for a week, then started the Grayson book.  Not that it is a bad book - it's
a superb book, it's just really hard to get for people who only started
python-ing 2 weeks beforehand.  Alot of people I know have given up Tkinter
because of the advanced-ness of the Grayson book - they just need a stepping
up stone.

  Hmmm....of course you could try your hand at writing a book like Mr
Grayson - except starting of a little less extreme :)

  Thanks,
  Glen.
