samtregar,
I don't see how you can give up on something you obviously want quite badly without even trying...

Heh. I spent as much time trying to figure out how to make Tile work with Tk as I did learning Tk. I would love to spend more time and I don't want to give up, but I also need to be a realist. I just returned from a two week vacation where I had dozens of helping hands to take care of our two daughters (visited family in Maine). While I am confident that I could eventually get something working, I need to finish the project I am working on. It is a gift for one of those family members that helped give me the time to learn Tk in the first place.

If this sounds like a cop out, please see Breaking The Rules II. That project sat unfinished for more than a year before I found time to get back to it - and even then, I didn't finish it. I just don't have the luxury of fully immersing myself in new things any more, but I don't lose sight of what I want to learn. Eventually, I get to it.

Cheers - L~R
