Hey all,
Thanks for all the help so far.
Listen I have a new problem. When you go and click on open to open a file the open window pops up. You select a file, its name appears in the entry bar and you click open. Now this loads the file, but the window stays open. How can I get it to close when you click on open as well as loading the sub "load"??
I tried this, but to no avail. 
$name = $bf->Entry(-textvariable => \$filename);
my $button = $bf->Button( -command => \&load,     
            -text => 'Open');



$tf->pack(-side => 'top');
$bf->pack(-side => 'bottom');
$ListBox->pack(qw/-side left -fill both -expand 1/);
$name->pack(-anchor => 's');
$button->pack(-anchor => 'se');
}

sub load{

    my ($index) = $ListBox->curselection();

    $filename = $ListBox->get($index);

    $mw->configure(-title => 'TextEd - ' . $filename);

    [ $open => 'destroy'];

    $InputText->Load( $filename  );

    (my $script = $0) =~ s,.*(\/|\\),,;

   
}

I also tried this. 
$name = $bf->Entry(-textvariable => \$filename);
my $button = $bf->Button( -command => \&load,
                        -command =>[ $open => 'destroy'],     
            -text => 'Open');



$tf->pack(-side => 'top');

If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on.
