Do you mean how to change the text explanation in the label or how to create an Entry or Text widget for entering information by the user?

Remeber to use the BB code, so it looks like the below.

from Tkinter import *
import Tkinter as tk

class Application(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.grid()
        self.createsMenuButton()
        self.createsOptionsButton()
        self.createsHelpButton()
        self.createsUsernameWidget()

        self.mb.menu = Menu ( self.mb, tearoff=0 )
        self.mb['menu'] = self.mb.menu


        self.exitVar =IntVar()

        self.mb.menu.add_command (label="QUIT",

Since I have no knowledge of Python GUI libraries whatsoever (only .NET's WPF and WinForms),
I searched "Toplevel" on google and got this:
http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/toplevel.htm

So will this work?

logedInPage = Toplevel()
logedInPage.minsize(width=30,height=50)
logedInPage.title("Message to You!")

msg = Message(logedInPage, text="Logged is misspelled.")
msg.pack()
