Will do. Is this OK?

By this do you mean the line?:
  wxGrid.__init__(self,parent,-1, style= wxSIMPLE_BORDER|wxSUNKEN_BORDER)

Boa inserts code like this:
  self.grid1 = wxGrid(id = wxID_WXFRAME1GRID1, name = 'grid1', parent =
self.panel1, pos = wxPoint(104, 24), size = wxSize(136, 80), style= 0)

So that I should change the first to something like?:

  wxGrid.__init__(ID, self,parent,-1, pos, size, style=
wxSIMPLE_BORDER|wxSUNKEN_BORDER)

>Then uncomment the line
>#        self.grid1 = wxGrid ...

OK understood

Got that.

That too.

Is this the line you mean in referring to the constructor definition, and is
the one parameter the style?

  wxGrid.__init__(self,parent,-1, style= wxSIMPLE_BORDER|wxSUNKEN_BORDER)

and is this the line you mean with 5 keywords in the source? There are 6
parameters within the wxGrid brackets (ID,NAME,PARENT,POS,SIZE,STYLE) or is
one ignored?

  self.grid1 = wxGrid(id = wxID_WXFRAME1GRID1, name = 'grid1', parent =
self.panel1, pos = wxPoint(104, 24), size = wxSize(136, 80), style= 0)

Thanks for all your help.
