- I would like to use TCL to add scrollbars to emacs. I don't want to
- modify emacs itself (for other reasons), so I thought I could use a
- wish shell and communicate via pipes. Unfortunately, my initial
- investigation into wish have turned up dry on 'reparenting', which I
- think is vital to my scheme. Is there some way to get wish widgets to
- adopt existing windows, and manage them as children? I know X
- supports this, and that I could compile TCL into a program of my own
- that just does reparenting in C and makes the function a TCL program
- and handles pipes nicely - but isn't there an easier way?
