Do you mean they don't appear when you type them in? Is this true on all
windows that accept inputs?

Can you please try to see if Tcl/Tk is able to accept the characters you
type? With the keyboard I have here, I don't seem to be able to type in
characters which require the `Alt' key (which does generate characters when
I type into a xterm window).

Please use the version of Tcl/Tk that tkeclipse uses (if you look at the
tkeclipse program (in the bin/<arch> directory of the ECLiPSe directory),
you will see which version of wish (the Tcl/Tk executable) is being
used. For example, I have:

exec /a/breeze/extra4/ks15/Eclipse/tcltk/i386_linux/bin/wish8.3 /a/breeze/extra4/ks15/Eclipse/lib_tcl/tkeclipse.tcl 

Where /a/breeze/extra4/ks15/Eclipse/tcltk/i386_linux/bin/wish8.3 is the
executable you should use.

If you don't know Tcl/Tk, then just start the wish executable from some
text shell, you then should be able to type a simple Tk command like:

pack [text .t]

which would create a Tk text window. Try typing into this window and see if
it accepts the `[' etc. characters.

If it does accept such characters, then it might be the query entry window
of TkECLiPSe that has the problem. We use a non-standard combobox widget
for this. Try and see if some other window will accept these characters. I
suggest you try the Compile Scratch Pad window (the first option under
Tools menu), which I think should be a straight-forward Tk text window.

Please let me know the results.

Cheers,
