in reply to Perl Tk - getopenFile failure

Replace final pattern with:

 ['All files',    '*', ],

It has 2 more commas than yours. Not sure why that makes a difference, but it's one thing in the examples that is different than your program.

    Thank you. I added the extra commas but sadly it made o difference.
    It did occur to me that the failure of Word and Excel has some similarities since these also open a type of broswer to the file system.
