Thanks.  It took longer to get out than anticipated, but hopefully we 
can get it to work just as well there as it has for other platforms.

Are you not getting the native Mac OS X dialog?

Ah - now I see it.  OK, after the first save, when you do the Save As 
for an existing project, it is somehow converting.  This seems to be a 
Tk core bug (oddity).  Do this:

tk_getSaveFile -initialfile /Users/pc/TCL/Project/File.tpj

and you will see it convert the / to - in the dialog.  The workaround is 
to separate file and dir segments for -initialdir and -initialfile, but 
that is not the way Tk docs it, so it really is a Tk/Aqua bug.
