Sorry for replying to my own post, but I found the awser hidden on the
Python site. I just needed to add a line that says:
tl[len(tl)-1].t.focus()

Still, any help with my previous problems would be helpful:

1. How can add Copy Cut and Paste to an edit menu? I know how to make the
menu items, I just don't know how to assign them to Cut, Copy, and Paste
actions.

2. I know that you can askopenfilename and asksaveas to bring up premade
Open and Save As Dialogue boxes. Is there a similar one for print?

3. How can I add Keyboard shortcuts to menu items? Particuarlt Cut, Copy,
Paste, Save, and Open if they are prebuilt, but I'd also like to know how to
generate my own (for ex. If I added custom menuitem and wanted a shortcut to
it)

Thanks again,
