Enhanced tree.py (was Re: mouse event failures (was Re: tree))

After reading the code tree.py, I understand what was wrong: I shouldn't be using the mouse event.  The tree.py was developed to support only those methods invoked by the minimalTree example (which is REALLY ... minimal).  So, I added a couple of events to support drag&drop of items to tree.py, and found an example at http://wiki.wxpython.org/TreeControlsand updated minimalTree to do drag&drag w scrolling.  I've uploaded the file to the Pythoncard Features Request page at:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2898599&group_id=19015&atid=369015

I hope this example program can help others see how Pythoncard supports the wxPython card control.
