[Tutor] A better way to do it.

Hi Jacob,

Since your class derives from Frame, check Frame for
methods to change the title. If that doesn't work, try
this: Tkinter is based on Tk (which works with TCL).
So try posting your question on comp.lang.tcl. You can
do this via Google Groups: groups.google.com. You need
to register once, its free.
