I take it from that you've been using a multi-line Text widget. The problem I foresee is that whilst in a Text widget, a button-1 click sets the insertion cursor to the character under the mouse, if you make it readonly and disable the insertion cursor, will the button-1 binding still work? I would use an 8x8 grid of Entry widgets. That way, each click identifies which symbol is clicked. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

PROBLEM SOLVED: You should set the insertOnTime option (which controls the time in millisecons for which the blinking cursor is on) to zero. $text_widget->configure(-insertontime=>0);	[reply]
