    Well, that messes up the horizontal direction. It doesn't expand the rightmost text boxes to fill the available space, and doesn't resize in the X direction as the window changes width.

      OOPS, I missed that criterion. Then try the line: 
      params_box()->pack (-side => 'top', -anchor=>'w', -expand=>0, -fill=>'
+x');

      This causes width expansion to all be in the rightmost part. Is that what you want?

        Yes, that work right. I can't imagine why I didn't try that permutation when I was writing it originally. Perhaps it's a bug that's been fixed since? I recall that info on gridColumnconfigure was hard to come by, and it was rather picky.

        Many thanks.
