[AG-TECH] venue connection issues for new AG user

[Cindy Sievers]

Actually, we were able to connect to a venue on a ThinkPad T41 by doing the 
following:

Before installing AGTk2.3, rename the directory IBMTOOLS\Python22\ to 
something else, then
install wxPython, Python, and AGTk2.3.
We were then able to connect to venues.....

Before we were able to connect, we had tried reinstalling AGTk, we deleted 
the PYTHONCASEOK environmental setting, etc.....but we still couldn't 
connect to any venue.  Seems that Python22 is built in to those IBM's, and 
you need to force them to use the Python23. You might be able to move the 
Python 22 variables, but we didn't try that....I don't know how this 
affects the stuff that used the Python22, so your mileage with other IBM 
programs will vary.....:)
