- It appears in the xterm, though I should probably add that this version
- of tcl does not provide a "wish", but rather a prompt like tclX. It's all
- based around Motif widgets, and has an equivalent of XtAppMainLoop call to
- do its event stuff.

- I tried a similar script using tcl/tk/wish and it worked fine.
