Junio, I meant absolutely no offense in anything I wrote, and sincerely apologize if any was taken. My past experiences caused me to be skeptical that a significant change to accommodate a very bad design of Windows would be accepted here. Happily, that skepticism was misplaced. I am much heartened by the responses, and am optimistic a good solution will be found that is acceptable to all. It is very clear that the group is open and supportive of working through the issues to help this, and I intend to contribute to that solution. (If nothing else, I would like to be known for something besides some modest ability to hack around Tk bugs). So, I trust the flamethrowers can remain buried. Mark
