Never mind. I must have had something out of sync between the resource and 
code files. I redid everything and it now works.

I'm on Redhat 8.0, fully patched.

Yes. I have to change my LANG ev from en_US.UTF-8 to en_US. I also get 
this message everytime I start a PyCard application:

	wxWindows warning: Widget styles disabled due to buggy GTK theme.

But, the sample applications work.

Works fine.

This is okay. FYI, textRouter.py has /usr/local/bin/python.

The text is never (visibly?) written to the text area. I've altered the 
block by adding a print statement:

     def on_Area51_mouseClick(self, event):
         print "Here I am!"
         self.components.Area51.text = "Hello."

When I activate 'redirect stdout' nothing ever appears in the shell. I 
also tried importing log and adding a log.info("blah") and I never see a 
logfile created. How can tell if I am getting to this block of code?

No traceback. Runs clean.

Will do.
