Thanks for looking I eventually found it too. (compared new code to

Not at all, I agree. You started the style- It must be consistent
or complimentary. This was a first try using Glade and hacking
Python. I wasn't going to spend much more time on it unless the
the work would be considered to be included for EMC-I am pleased.
I will work on what you said - Here is a pic of the other version I made:

I like the look of frames better. Unless you hate it I will add your
Change requests and send you a pic for approval.
