Phil, that works fine on my system, Windows 2000.

The debug menu About box reports:
PythonCard version 0.7 <- version number in cvs
wxPython version: 2.3.3.1
PyCrust version: 0.8   <- cvs again
Python version: 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14, 200, 17:02:34)[MSC 32 bit(Intel)]
Platform: win32

Sigh, that you can no longer use Ctrl+C to copy read-only text from the
wxTextCtrl when it is read-only. I'm going to have to make a custom dialog
with a Copy system info to clipboard option.

So, do other PythonCard samples work? How about the wxPython demo? If other
PythonCard samples work and you're on Linux or Mac OS X, is the

#!/usr/bin/python

different? That won't be used on Windows. When you say that text doesn't
show up do you mean that the app window comes up fine, but then you can't
type text in the field or something else? If there is a traceback error when
the app runs, then what is it.

Finally, for people posting sample programs, it is probably simpler to
attach a zip file with all required files and then show a portion of the
problem code in the email with your question. That way there won't be any
email wrapping or differences introduced via copy and paste, filenames, etc.
when trying to recreate the files for testing. Zip files can have the line
endings converted when unzipped, so it takes care of the cross-platform
issues too.

Thanks,

ka
