Thanks Jeff,
The call to decode() when I get the entry's textvariable does indeed fix
the problem. I now have a similar (but wholly different;-) problem
related to a filename containing a Unicode character, however, I think
I'll resolve this but not allowing my users to do this (I believe it is
dependent on more than just Python / Tk - It must involve the OS at some
level)
Cheers,
Martin.
