Thanks very much! This is exactly what I needed.

I'm still having problems with one thing, though - how can I make
wx.FileHistory open the file when I click on the item in the Recent Files
menu? I have set the menu for wx.FileHistory to use to a certain menu. The
method I use to open files is called OpenFile(). How can I make each item in
the Recent Files menu bind to OpenFile itself? I've already inserted the
AddFileToHistory() calls in the right places, as well as saving and loading
the config file.

Here's the important part of my code:

        filerecentmenu =3D wx.Menu()
        filemenu.AppendMenu(109, "&Recent Files", filerecentmenu)
        self.hist.UseMenu(filerecentmenu)
        self.hist.AddFilesToMenu()

That's the only problem I have left.
