I am using Perl 5.8.8 on under Windows.

=20

I and some other users am having intermittent problems when using the
GetOpenFile dialog (see Mastering Perl Tk pages circa 568) where the
directories and files for a selected directory are not shown.  It is not =
all
clear what conditions cause this since I get different results when I go =
to
the same directory at different times.  Neither is the =91solution=92 =
constant.
For example sometimes I can get the missing list by entering a * in the =
File
Name =91box=92 and sometimes I can get the list by going down one =
directory
level and then trying at the failing level.  However, I am never certain =
if
either of these will work.

=20

Is there any way to prevent the problem happening.  For example can
something be =91called=92 before using this dialog so that it behaves as =
wanted?
