wx.EVT_MENU(self, idtool, self.OnExecute(idtool, e)) I changed it to this and it seems to be calling self.OnExecute befour the editor comes up and then after the editor is up it doesn't respond to anything. I got rid off all the spaces but one in the text file (I supose I need to use the strip method in real like though).. I was able to get an infinite loop by calling the editor as one of the options and then it keeps calling itself. It may be another problem or perhaps I didn't grasp the answer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
