# Start various examples; run me at system boot time to make them
# always available.  This file is meant for starting programs you
# actually wish to use; see PyDemos for starting Python/Tk demos 
# and more details on program start options.  Windows usage note: 
# this is a '.py' file, so you get a dos box console window when it
# is clicked; the dos box is used to show a startup message (and we
# sleep 5 seconds to make sure it's visible while gadgets start up).
# If you don't want the dos popup, run with the 'pythonw' program 
# (not 'python'), use a '.pyw' suffix, mark with a 'run minimized' 
# Windows property, or spawn the file from elsewhere; see PyDemos.
