Thanks, but this is also something I've been doing more or less, but this solution is just making the problem halfsolved so to speak. I mean, the 
$mw->after(1000);

[download]
is there just to make time for the 
&work()

[download]
thread to finnish it's job, so the 
$full_PathMatchEntry->configure(-choices => \@choices);

[download]
will actually change something! This is all nice, but its still not the 
&work()

[download]
that changes the 
$full_PathMatchEntry .

[download]
Maybe this isnt possible as it is now, although I bet there is...
If we break it down to the main problem, this workaround has to be done since the 
$full_PathMatchEntry

[download]
can't be shared. Now, how about sharing 
@choices ?

[download]
This would all be good, if we didnt had to do: 
$full_pathMatchEntry->show_listbox();

[download]
I mean, here we still need to somehow notify the widget that something has changed (thing is that the change to the @choices can happen, and if we don't type anything more, then we won't resisplay the listbox), but how to do that? We can't have a listener in the Tk thread, since then we can't type anything...
