What is a "Simple Tk window"?
There is no such widget. So what is the window using to list the names?
Is it a label?
a text widget? or a List entry woidget(which would seem the most logical)

When you say press the "number" do you mean you want the user to point 
at the digit part of the line?
Why not just have them click on the line itself?
That's what a list entry does by default.

You can then select as much or as little of the seleced text to put in 
your filename.

I don;t undertsamd this at all.
Tk events are all created dynamically but they have nothing to do ewith 
the content of the list.

I think you need to show us some code. At the moment its not at all 
clear(to me) what you are trying to do.
