My Tk books are at home, but isn't the first argument of Scrolled()
the class of the thing you want to be scrolled?  Perhaps Scrolled()
cannot be applied to a Menu, and perhaps someone here can say so
authoritatively.  But in the mean time, try passing 'Menu' as the
first argument to Scrolled() and see what happens.  It might be
exciting.  :-)
