	Thanks for the advice everybody. Jason also suggested wxwidgets. As I 
get more than a few consecutive minutes together I will be looking at 
everything everybody suggested. I don't want to pre-judge anything 
before I try it. I suppose the best way to start is to see what I can do 
on one machine and try it on another. Then tell my cousin to install 
Python on his M$ box and try it there.

	The last actual graphics programming I did was on an Apple IIGS. This 
is going to be a real adventure.
