+#	The way to think about this is that each radio button menu
+#	controls a different variable -- clicking on one of the
+#	mutually exclusive choices in a radiobutton assigns some value
+#	to an application variable you provide. When you define a
+#	radiobutton menu choice, you have the option of specifying the
+#	name of a varaible and value to assign to that variable when
+#	that choice is selected. This clever mechanism relieves you,
+#	the programmer, from having to write a dumb callback that
+#	probably wouldn't have done anything more than an assignment
+#	anyway. The Tkinter options for this follow their Tk
+#	counterparts: 
+#	{"variable" : my_flavor_variable, "value" : "strawberry"}
+#       where my_flavor_variable is an instance of one of the
+#       subclasses of Variable, provided in Tkinter.py (there is
+#	StringVar(), IntVar(), DoubleVar() and BooleanVar() to choose
+#	from)
