Here's where the trouble starts.  Tabs need to be added to the notebook
before you can add panels.  See notes on next step...

> 5. Make the notebook a bit bigger by resizing it

The first control added to a wxFrame, becomes the "container" for that
frame, meaning that the control added becomse the "background" for the
frame.

There is a slight quirk with the Designer where after the first control
added, the frame is not automatically updated.  What should happen, is
that after the notebook is added to the frame, Post the changes (click on
the the little check mark on the Inspector or Editor Window).  Posting th=
e
changes will "write the code" to the python script.  Re-open the Designer=
,
and now the notebook will have filled the entire frame.

The next step is to add "Tabs" to the Notebook.  This is done by
double-cliking on the Notebook.  This will bring up the Collection Editor=
.
 Press the "New" button to add a page to the notebook.  After the Tab has
been added, you may place as many controls as you like.

Boa will crash, if the orginal steps are done as described.  Perhaps ther=
e
needs to be some checking to catch this condition.
