Hi Eric,

Actually yes, I put my drawing area inside a layout inside a scrolled 
window inside a toplevel window. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a 
half-dozen better ways to the same end, but I got this to work for me and 
I'm stickin' with it 'til it breaks. ;-> The outer layers (layout through 
toplevel) actually constitute another principal object type of my toolkit 
(a Frame) which is used to encapsulate other non-Canvas objects such as 
large dialog panels and textwindows. Seemed like an easy way to make all 
of my toplevels downsizable and scrollable.
