I think the problem is that the tkbind function is expecting the 3rd
argument to be a function and the arguments of functions passed to
tkbind need to have specific names. In your call when you do the
binding the OtoFanCallback function is called at that time (hence the
initial print) and its return value (which is the return value of the
final cat call) is used as the binding function, which ends up doing
nothing as you see.
I changed your bind command to:
tkbind(detlist,"<<ListboxSelect>>", OtofanCallback)
and I changed the OtofanCallback function to have no arguments and ran
the script and everything looks much more like it is working, at least
when I changed the selection in the list box I saw the new value
'cat'ed to the screen.
hope this helps
