- Don Libes wrote expect to cover the need for such a utility in shell

- Or am I grasping the wrong end of the stick? Has nobody tackled the task
- of putting the expect stuff into wish because tk can deal with
- front-ending existing programs without the need for the expect goodies.
- If so, then how is it done?

- I also think that a combination of expect and tk/wish would be
- extremely useful.
