How to I access the filename with TkFileDialog?

[imphasing]

I'm writing a python program to open a file, and display it onscreen,
but I can't seem to find the var that "tkOpenFileName" returns to. It's
not much use if you can't get the filename you just chose, so there
must be a way to get it. Could anyone help me?

Thanks,
Alex
