thanks so much for the sample code. i'm still a little confused... you say that (mostly) Tk under ActiveState runs fine - does that imply that it does not use Win32? i'm not making the connection on where Win32 fits into the picture. I thought it would be necessary for any/all Tk calls (when i include the TK package, i thought the Win32 got included too).

also, this might be a dumb question, but why does your code execute fine when activestate executes it, but not when cygwin's perl executes it. with cygwin, the code runs, by a window, nor an error msg, ever appear. i eventually just kill'ed the process.

hope i'm not being too dense here. thanks for your time.
