Blink the widgets? What does that mean? map/unmap them? color change like a button flash?

 after nn body

[AJB] I would agree, in the traditional since of a GUI.  However, if you consider that TCL/Tk could be used as an interface to equipment on an industrial plant floor, then blinking buttons are extremely useful.  They are the ideal way to grab a machine operator's attention. (i.e. you would flash the start button for a system that has stopped due to a critical fault)

 .foo.button flash

That command will flash .foo.button from active to normal colors a couple of times.  If you want it to continue flashing, you will have to place it within a loop.
