Sounds good. I can see my untimeliness was taken up by others... :-)

Ok... got most of that. Looks like we should ideally start with a Form, add
a Sizer and then a Panel on top of that. I am assuming the '1' and the 'x'
are proportion and then layout although there is no mention of 'x' in the
dabo api docs but I am assuming it must be the shortcut for 'expand'.
Is the layout() method needed? It seems to still run the form even if I
comment it out.
Are all container/control/objects added using sizer.append()?
