Thank you, Peter! The Unicode sequence "\u00e2" for "â" is the ticket.
While it is true that I can just use â in my TclTk code, when I use package.skeleton(name="unicode test"), the R code changes my unacceptable â to <e2> to indicate an error. My code will still run, of course, but doesn't display as expected (or does display as expected, depending on your expectations). ~:-) Your Unicode suggestion fixes all that. The package.skeleton() likes the escape sequence and the resulting TclTk widget displays the â as desired. Thank you! Charles Annis, P.E.

If you pass an expression, Tcl will think it is a callback. You shouldn't expect plotmath features to work outside of plots. > Can anyone suggest how to use the a with caret in a TclTk widget? > Can't you just type it in inside a string? Otherwise, Unicode escapes like "\u00e2" should do it. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
