I've been groping around for several days trying to find out why
tk_getOpenFile and tk_getSaveFile don't function properly on
my machine. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro and using one of the
more recent ActiveState distributions. The behavior is as if
the dialog had been displayed and the "Cancel" button had been
hit, i.e. the file name comes back as empty. No error messages
or any other indication of a problem.

In looking at the source, I understand that these "procs" have
a "C" implementation in order to use the native Windows file
selection dialog. My suspicion is that I have some corrupted
DLL or some such thing, but for an old UNIX hack like me its
pretty hopeless wandering around in Windows DLL land.

So, I was hoping if anyone might have run across this type of
problem they might share their experience. I'm about ready to
try the usual Windows "cure" and reinstall the operating
system or some such nonsense.
