in reply to Tk dirSelect -options problem

Just guessing: the documentation shows

Show([directory], [options])

Have you tried passing the initial directory as the first argument to Show?

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

    An inspired guess as it turns out since that worked as I wanted. Thank you!

    I tried putting more options in Show().
    -width and -height did not seem to have any effect.
    -background => blue made the frame at the bottom with the OK and Cancel buttons turn blue

    It looks like some experimentation is required unless someone can give some more information or point to where this is documented.

      Please no more guessing :)
