_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This widget provides an interface to enter names to be associated
     with files containing array expression information related to a
     particular sample.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     tkSampleNames(..., filenames = character(0))

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: the filenames to be associated with a sample name, supplied
          individually and/or as a  character vector

filenames: a character vector of filenames to be associated with a
          sample name.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     'AnnotatedDataFrame-class' objects will use sample names as row
     names for its pData. The colnames of the expression matrices in
     'ExpressionSet-class' use this as well. Many times, each of these
     columns are obtained from a file. Rather than use the, sometimes
     ugly, filename we can use the sample names that this interface
     associates with each file.

     The function returns a character matrix intended to be used to
     create sample names in AnnotatedDataFrame and ExpressionSet.
     However, the function can be used independently of the Biobase
     package.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A character matrix with the first column the filenames the second
     column the sample names to associate.
