Thanks Ed, tried John's suggestion and they worked. Now I'm trying it
this way. You see, the way I think about it, I don't really want to
create a class but use dabo's dForm as it is, and manipulate it. Maybe
later I will end up subclassing dForm, but not right now.
The corrected program (as per your suggestions) is below. It works ok,
but besides the form, there is a "Dabo Application" window created with
the default menu. After I close my form the application window persists,
if I close the app window my forrm closes with it. Is there a way I can
get rid of this window and have only my form?

def doEdit(evt):

mfile.appendSeparator()
mfile.append('Edit', HotKey='Ctrl+E', OnHit=doEdit, help='Editar

form.MenuBar.appendMenu(mfile)
panel = dabo.ui.dPanel(form)
panel.BackColor = 'blue'
form.Sizer.append(panel, 1, 'x')
form.show()
app.start()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
