I'm ok now with Tcl/Tk...
However, I'm still baffled by connecting Rudy to MySql...
I tried downloading Gem but couldn't get past the question requesting 
what I wanted to install...the list contained about 30 items...each 
numbered...I replied with a 2 but it was rejected...

It looks like DBI is another way to go...

I'd appreicate any advice.

Thanks,
Pat
