I'm a Python beginner (wrote C programs before I needed GUIs) running 2.2.2 on Windows 98SE from the 
standard download from www.python.org.

I first put a frame ObRef  'f'   into a .grid() line instead of into the Label() line above it.  When I "fixed" it, I 
put the  'f' in the Label() but forgot to remove it from .grid().

IDLE's error message identified the erroneous line but reported that  '-bd'  was not allowed.  If it had 
identified  '-f'  as the culprit that would have saved me a lot of scrambling.

A screen-shot of the code and the error message are attached (MS Word .doc format).  The offending line 
is the seventh line in the code screen-shot.

Thanks.


Sorry if this is a duplicate.  I have searched the python.org FAQ and the Source Forge error list without 
recognizing this problem in any of their titles.

Sometimes the SF file upload doesn't take.
Please re-attach your screen shot.

There's no uploaded file!  You have to check the
checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"
when you upload a file.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do
nothing about. :-( )

Over a month ago I sent a private message to the
reporter requesting proper documentation of the
problem, including instructions on screen shots, since
the files attached are empty.  Putting this bug
on pending status since there has been no response.
