Thanks for the response, Werner.
I figured out the problem: the "init, body, fin form"  is actually a  
specific format that the generated method must be in in order for  
BoaConstructor to interpret it correctly.
The format is something like:
def _init_coll_sizername_Items(self, parent):
	# generated method, do not edit

	sizername.AddWindow(blahblah)

*** the comment and/or the newline between the comment and the function  
body are important ***

Thanks again
