Earlier on this year or late last year I had similar
problems
(with extendedA and B characters). I finally dropped the
idea.
As far as I can remember from googling the web for a
solution
is that this problem was/is due to brokenness of Tk (Tk
Aqua) on the newer MacOSs.
A reference I just refound: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/tcl-m
ac/2865240
My problems were with Python 2.3.5 with Tcl/Tk 8.4.
I do not follow the development on MacOS regularly, so I
cannot tell you the current state
of affairs.

Hope this helps,
