OK, thanks for the pointer. Don't know whether I'll have time before 7.5
though.

I suppose that it would be nice to finish polishing the Tcl/Tk interface in
the post-7.5 world. But, I hope that I will be able to migrate over
to SDL development at some point in the next cycle. Developing/debugging
with Tcl/Tk is somewhat of a pain because of the continuous hopping back
and forth between C code and the Tcl interpreter....
