- This is probably quite doable, and I'd be interested in the results.
- mxedit uses the editing engine of the original mx written by John Ousterhout.
- That engine was mostly accessible via TCL already, so my work for mxedit
- wasn't too hard. Now things are pretty well split between the engine (widget)
- and the TCL that composes the application. I'd be interested in what
- its like to embed the engine into the context of another interpreter.
