[BioC] pExplorer bug?

[James Wettenhall]

Hi Fai,

pExplorer() uses Tcl/Tk, and there probably aren't too many 
people on this mailing list who have tried using Tcl/Tk with 
a non-english character set (I suppose this requires a 
version of Tcl/Tk configured to use Unicode).

If, after isolating the problem further, it turns out 
to be related to TclTk/UniCode, then maybe it could be 
reported to a Tcl/Tk mailing list.

John Zhang (author of tkWidgets, including pExplorer) may have 
ideas about why pExplorer might not work on your system.  I 
just tried pExplorer(), and on my system (Windows 2000 
(English), R 1.9.0, tkWidgets 1.3.20), clicking the drop-down 
button seems to give the expected listbox (simulating a 
drop-down combo-box), but then (after selecting an item from 
the simulated drop-down combo-box), pExplorer seems to freeze 
quite easily (maybe a problem with tkgrab or something similar).  

Regards,
James
