I had to add a little bit to make the dialog modal to the parent. So anyway,
here’s to helping! : )
My comments are prefaced with an #A:, and my modifications are surrounded by
the #A tag, #A - #/A, that is.

Good question.
The behavior has been this way in Tk since the introduction of the
Windows-native dialogs. If it hasn't been fixed in that time, the T
jepler's suggestion seems to solve the problem:
# Wrap a dialog in a grab pair.
# Use to make tkFileDialog and tkMessageBox application-modal.
# Not needed for tkSimpleDialog.
# tk - grab target
# f - tkFileDialog.askopenfilename, tkMessageBox.showinfo, etc.
# kw - dictionary of key-word arguments
Good observation, Michael! That was the ticket, at least for me when
I run Greg's sample app on WinXP with Python 2.4.1
cheers

I, too, have seen the file dialogs behave modally on my machine---but not
always.
This follo
