Derek:
I hate to be a pest.  But since your updating the tutor program anyway.
Could you see if you could make the program accept the default colors
of the desktop its running on?

I really wanted to use this tutor program & found that as usual it
forces a white background with black text which I can't use at all.

Also, did you ever find out how to make the text color in win32lib
dialogs boxes the windows default?

Regards
Brian Keene
