Subject: Tree and Entry in a file viewer

Just a question:
am I right saying that a tree can *not* help in selecting filenames but just 
in viewing a tree structure like a filesystem, so if I want to select files 
"using a tree" I must write separate code for showing the filesystem and for 
getting the last entry? 

I can't understand how would I synchronise the Entry and the selected 
Tree_item of the Tree. 
I planned to create a Tree representing the filesystem structure, with a 
callback expanding the selected node as in the gtk-perl example at 
http://personal.riverusers.com/~swilhelm/gtkperl-tutorial/tree.html#AEN3840 , 
then get the label of the selected Tree_item and place it after the label of 
its parents, building the path to the filename piece by piece, but I can't 
find how to get that label.

TIA
Ernesto
