Hi there, I am running R1.9.0 and Bioconductor 1.4 on Chinese Windows XP. All installed packages are up-to-date. When I start pExplorer, the GUI window shows the correct package path C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1090/library, but the drop down button and the select package button are not working.

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).

The non-responding select package button is a namespace issue that I will correct.
