Well the code was from a complete example set which I attached to my email response to your question. I include it below in the readmore, in case you lost the attachments, or some other mailer-incompatibility problems. It is a basic server, and a Tk client. The client sends what is typed in the bottom entry box, and displays the return in the top text box. It is basically what you want to do. You can see that it is basically very simple, when chopped down to just network and Tk code. The fileevent just takes the socket itself, and watches it for when it is readable. When it is, it prints it out. But fileevent will NOT block the rest of the script, like a while loop will. fileevent is basically Tk's version of IO::Select, but adapted to work with the event loop.
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Ok, Zentara.....it worked!
You're the man...Send me your address and I'll send a crate of Soles (Mexican beer) your way... ;)
Besides the fileevent syntax....I needed to write a \n at the end of the string i'm sending to the server.
I guess thats why the client was sending the string only after it died.
Special thanks to g0n and bowie99.....
