  pronounced ``tickle.'' It is actually two things: a language and a

  forth.  The common Tcl language framework makes it easier for
  applications to communicate with one another.

!     Tk 2.0 - an extension to Tcl which provides the programmer with
  an interface to the X11 windowing system.  Note that many users will
  encounter Tk via the ``wish'' command.  Wish is a simple windowing
  shell which permits the user to write Tcl applications in a prototyping
  environment.

!     Extended Tcl (tclX) 6.2B - This extended set of commands are
  provided by NeoSoft, and provide additional Unix system interfaces to
  the Tcl programmer.  Many users will encounter Tcl via the ``tcl''
  command - an interactive Tcl command interpreter.

  made out of lists of key-value pairs and can be passed by value to routines,

! Subject: -Q8d-    pass an array into a proc?

  A8d. Read the documentation for the option command.
  Then you should consider something like the following - assume the program
  name is xwf.

! option add Tk.BoldFont "*-lucida sans-Bold-R-Normal-*-100-*" widgetDefault
! option readfile $HOME/.Xdefaults userDefault
! if {[file exists $Home/app-defaults/xwf] == 1} \
!     {option readfile $Home/app-defaults/xwf userDefault}
! elif {[file exists $Home/app-defaults/XWF] == 1} \
!     {option readfile $Home/app-defaults/XWF userDefault}

! set fb [option get . Tk BoldFont]

! This sets a program default, then any defaults specified in the user's
! default resources and finally any app-defaults resource.  Of course,
! you might want to add some command line handling to allow the user to
! override things at execution time.

  Subject: -Q8e- get my wish application to execute - I just get a
!         wish prompt!

! A8e. Some Unix systems have a maximum length of characters that you can
  put on a #! line.  If you exceed this, you do not get the behaviour you
  expect.  So do not try to put something like:

--- 267,325 ----
  made out of lists of key-value pairs and can be passed by value to routines,

! Subject: -Q8d- set X11 resources for a wish application in an app-defaults file?

  A8d. Read the documentation for the option command.
  Then you should consider something like the following - assume the program
  name is xwf.

! The following are two general purpose functions to put into a library:

! # envVal envValName
! #   Looks up the envValName environment variable and returns its
! #   value, or {} if it does not exists
! proc envVal {envValName} {
!   global env
!   if [info exists env($envValName)] {return $env($envValName)} {return {}}
! }

! # loadAppDefaults classNameList ?priority?
! #   Searches for the app-default files corresponding to classNames in
! #   the order specified by X Toolkit Intrinsics, and loads them with
! #   the priority specified (default: startupFile).
! proc loadAppDefaults {classNameList {priority startupFile}} {
!   set filepath "[split [envVal XUSERFILESEARCHPATH] :] \
!         [envVal XAPPLRESDIR] \
!         [split [envVal XFILESEARCHPATH] :] \
!         /usr/lib/X11"
!   foreach i $classNameList {
!     foreach j $filepath {
!       if {[file exists $j/$i]} {
!     option readfile $j/$i $priority; break
!       }
!     }
!   }
! }

+ # Now, here is what you would put into xwf:
+
+ option add Tk.BoldFont "*-lucida sans-Bold-R-Normal-*-100-*" widgetDefault
+ loadAppDefaults {xwf XWF} userDefault
+
+ This sets a program default, then load any defaults specified in the user's
+ default resources and finally any site or general app-defaults resource.
+ Of course, you would want to add some xwf command line handling to allow
+ the user to override things at execution time.
+
  Subject: -Q8e- get my wish application to execute - I just get a
!         wish prompt!  Or I just get error msgs about permission
!         denied, not found, etc.

! A8e. Most systems require a full pathname to the interpreter.  So you cannot
! start a wish script out as
! #! wish -f
!
! Likewise, many Unix systems have a maximum length of characters that you can
  put on a #! line.  If you exceed this, you do not get the behaviour you
  expect.  So do not try to put something like:

  A8h. rename procedureName ""

! Subject: -Q8h-    delete a procedure from within a tcl/tk script?

! A8h. You can't.  Build your own listbox using boxes and text on a canvas.
  Then you will be able to select non-contiguous entries.
--- 377,464 ----

  A8h. rename procedureName ""

! Subject: -Q8i- select two items that are not adjacent in the listbox at
!         one time?

! A8i. You can't.  Build your own listbox using boxes and text on a canvas.
  Then you will be able to select non-contiguous entries.
+
+ Subject: -Q8j- change the default class bindings?
+
+ A8j. All default class bindings for Tk widgets are initialized in
+ $tk_library/tk.tcl.  Use this file as a guide to implement new
+ bindings.  For instance, the following code duplicates Button 1's
+ drag-select facility in Button 3 for all listboxes:
+
+ bind Listbox <3> {%W select from [%W nearest %y]}
+ bind Listbox <B3-Motion> {%W select to [%W nearest %y]}
+
+ Subject: -Q8k- delete a binding?
+
+ A8k. Give an empty-string command to the "bind" invocation.  For
+ example, to disable the Delete key in all entry fields:
+
+     bind Entry <Delete> {}
+
+ Subject: -Q8l- raise or lower a window?
+
+ A8l. This is on the (semi-infinite) list of things to be done in the future.
+ If you have the time, please go ahead and add it and submit the code and all
+ will be grateful.
+
+ Subject: -Q8m- re-map a withdrawn window id?
+
+ A8m. Use wm deiconify <windowid>.
+
+ Subject: -Q8m- change the X11 cursor?
+
+ Here is a tip from [e-mail] (M. G. Christenson).
+
+ Look at /usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h for a list of available cursors.
+ You can use the names in there by removing the 'XC_'.
+
+ Here's a little proc I use to make my entire application go 'busy'
+ while it's doing something. Just call it with the commands you want to
+ execute, and the watch cursor will be displayed for the time it takes
+ the commands to complete.  Note that any new windows will have their
+ normal cursor.
+
+ proc busy {cmds} {
+     global errorInfo
+
+     set busy {.app .root}
+     set list [winfo children .]
+     while {$list != ""} {
+     set next {}
+     foreach w $list {
+         set class [winfo class $w]
+         set cursor [lindex [$w config -cursor] 4]
+         if {[winfo toplevel $w] == $w || $cursor != ""} {
+         lappend busy [list $w $cursor]
+         }
+         set next [concat $next [winfo children $w]]
+     }
+     set list $next
+     }
+
+     foreach w $busy {
+     catch {[lindex $w 0] config -cursor watch}
+     }
+
+     update idletasks
+
+     set error [catch {uplevel eval [list $cmds]} result]
+     set ei $errorInfo
+
+     foreach w $busy {
+     catch {[lindex $w 0] config -cursor [lindex $w 1]}
+     }
+
+     if $error {
+     error $result $ei
