I am not serving webpages per se.  I could run the app in the browser and
have the same outcome as running the app in the TK window.  I think the
richer UI features of TK are worth examining.  Plus, this is an
exploratory foray into writing scripts under windows.  With my current
database and document library, I find myself doing the same things over
and over.  That's a job for scripting!

And thanks for all your other pointers.  I'll try to stay away from the
gotchas that you mentioned.

Thanks,
