[Tutor] How do I kill this program?

[Kirby Urner]

In many cases, IDLE is not a good place to develop
Tk programs.

However, in this case, you can have it work.

Paste the code below into a Window and or pull it
up from a file.  Do Ctrl-F5 in that window (code
window) to start the Tk program (nice 'Spam' BTW).

Now, here's the important part:  resist the temptation
to hit the windows close box (x) in the upper right.
Instead, click on the Tk icon on the left, and choose
close.  This will return you to the IDLE shell prompt,
no three-fingers necessary.
