Thanks luuckyy --- I suppose I could use "Influence" instead of "Gravity"? Might not be as intuitive of a word, though. I didn't care much for "Wind", but perhaps that's an option as well.

Or, the easiest solution, I could reverse the meaning of the numbers. I'll get one of these solutions soon.

Correct, this problem exists in all fields.

Perhaps Andy of someone more TCL-savvy could chime in here, but I don't know how to fire a "command" event from the keyboard input from TCL. I'll have another look, though - this is not something I researched heavily before implementing it.

Meanwhile, one thing you can do, which I've already taken to do, is typing a number near the number you want, then using the up/down arrow keys in the numeric fields - this is equivalent to clicking the up/down arrows beside the fields, but doesn't require mouse input.

This is very kludgy, though, so I'll definitely seek out the alternative. I assume there must be a keyboard event trigger somewhere in Tcl/Tk.

Heh - reminds me of a joke:

What do you call someone that speaks three languages?
Trilingual.

What do you call someone that speaks two languages?
Bilingual.

What do you call someone that speaks only one language?
American.
