+""""Paint program by Dave Michell.

+Subject: tkinter "paint" example
+From: Dave Mitchell <davem@magnet.com>

+
+  Not too long ago (last week maybe?) someone posted a request
+for an example of a paint program using Tkinter. Try as I might
+I can't seem to find it in the archive, so i'll just post mine
+here and hope that the person who requested it sees this!
+
+  All this does is put up a canvas and draw a smooth black line
+whenever you have the mouse button down, but hopefully it will
+be enough to start with.. It would be easy enough to add some 
+options like other shapes or colors...
+
