| I really hate to ask a question like this...
The first time I used the following to create a new dialog box, it worked
fine:
toplevel .writeDialog -bd 10
wm title .writeDialog $title
Great! Now I do the following to create another dialog box in a separate
area of my code:
toplevel .readDialog -bd 10
wm title .readDialog $title
Every attempt to use .readDialog results in:
Error: Bad windows path name " .readDialog "
I can't see a single character of difference between them. Any ideas what
this is really trying to tell me?
Thanks,
Randy

If the above is the exact error message you get, notice that the widget
name begins and ends with a space. Widget names must begin with a ".".
