Anyone familiar with Tkinter?

I get mostly everything about Tkinter except scrollable windows which I can't understand how to implement to be actually functionable. Anyone knows the best way to implement it when the GUI goes outside of the window and you can be able to scroll to see other GUI's?

Can you share the code you have? I don't have much experience with Tkinter but I'm happy to poke at it a bit.

I have a frame but I want it to be scrollable. What I am coding is for people that use the software Poser and it helps make some task easy such as importing morphs for content. But depending on how many they would be importing it could make the window so long that it would go outside of the bounds of the screen. Which is not good.

if(current_Path==None or current_Path==""):
        tkMessageBox.showinfo("Location Error","A location hasn't been selected!")
else:
        if(ConfirmOBJSExisit()):
            cancelProcess(activeWin)  
            loadMor=Tk.Tk()
            loadMor.title("Batch Morph List")
            loadMor.geometry('700x600')
            loadMor.title("Morph List")
            loadMor.resizable(width=False,height=False)            


            frame=Tk.Frame(loadMor,width=700,height=600)


            #Label
            pathLabel=Tk.Label(frame,text=current_Path)
            pathLabel.grid(row=0,column=0,padx=10,pady=10,columnspan=2)
            sectionLabel1=Tk.Label(frame,text="Settings")
            sectionLabel1.grid(row=1,column=0,pady=10)
            sectionLabel2=Tk.Label(frame,text="New Morph Name")
            sectionLabel2.grid(row=1,column=1)
            sectionLabel3=Tk.Label(frame,text="Min. Value")
            sectionLabel3.grid(row=1,column=4)
            sectionLabel4=Tk.Label(frame,text="Max. Value")
            sectionLabel4.grid(row=1,column=5)
            current_Row=2
            current_Col=0
            #this will show available objs for morphs
            itemplace=0

            for morph in objNames: 


                MorphName=morph.strip('.obj')
                Tk.Label(loadMor,text=MorphName).grid(row=current_Row,column=current_Col,sticky=Tk.W,padx=10)
                ##Tk.Entry(textBox,width=1)
                entryMorphNames.append(Tk.Entry(frame,width=25))
                entryMorphNames[itemplace].insert(0,MorphName)
                entryMorphNames[itemplace].grid(row=current_Row,column=current_Col+1,sticky=Tk.W)

                PBMCheckBox.append(NewButton(frame,"PBM",1))
                PBMCheckBox[itemplace].set_pos(current_Row,current_Col+2)


                FBMCheckBox.append(NewButton(frame,"FBM",0))
                FBMCheckBox[itemplace].set_pos(current_Row,current_Col+3)


                entryMorphMin.append(Tk.Entry(frame, width=10))
                entryMorphMin[itemplace].insert(0,"-1")
                entryMorphMin[itemplace].grid(row=current_Row, column=current_Col+4)

                entryMorphMax.append(Tk.Entry(frame,width=10))
                entryMorphMax[itemplace].insert(0,"1")
                entryMorphMax[itemplace].grid(row=current_Row,column=current_Col+5,padx=10)

                current_Row=current_Row+1
                itemplace+=1

            applyMorph=Tk.Button(frame,text="Apply Morph(s)",command=lambda:applymorphs(loadMor,FBMCheckBox,PBMCheckBox))
            applyMorph.grid(row=current_Row+1, column=2,pady=20)
            morphCancel=Tk.Button(frame,text="Cancel Process",command=lambda:cancelProcess(loadMor))
            morphCancel.grid(row=current_Row+1,column=3)


            frame.pack()
            loadMor.mainloop()
