Hey all

I've got a really wierd problem. I have a grid that I display in TK. Simple grid of buttons. What that grid display changes everytime through an iteration of the program.
Here's the rub. It's not printing out each iteration, but rather waiting until it's run to completion and then printing out the final configuration.
I've tried $|=1 to shut off buffering
I've tried sleep(anytime), this just extends the time it takes all iterations to finish, and still waits till the final to print out.
I'm mad as hell...and I'm not going to take it anymore (Ah, invoking good old Jimmy Stewart always make me feel better)!

thanks,
