[LV] Oh, how I love this kit.

Just a couple notes.  

1. I see the line:
anyone interested in implementing the _FormCmd 
on stderr after some action takes place - I'm uncertain what
action it is.

2. There's an annoying Tk bug that no one's resolved that shows up
in the use of the program. It isn't dgHelpBrower's fault, as far
as I am aware.  But I have a 2 monitor system.  When I have dgHelpBrowser
on the right hand monitor, then click on the Options Menu button, then on
the html fontsize button, the sub-menu shows up way over on the left monitor.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I would surely love to hear about it - and
would love to see the fix integrated into Tk 8.5!  Also, any chance of
saving the font size change off (perhaps in $HOME/.dgHelpBrowseR))
to be used the next time the kit is used?

3. When one clicks on the help 'contents' entry, the
cursor should change into some sort of 'busy' indicator to let the user
know that something is happening, then change back when the processing
is completed.  While often things happen quickly, there are cases where
the processing takes a while (the wiki and comp.lang.tcl entries, for instance)
and one is left wondering what is going wrong.

4. Question - is it normal for the contents entries to require double clicks?
That's what I am seeing here on my sparc solaris 8 gnome desktop.

5. Covering the docs for most of the extensions that appear in activetcl
would really be useful - they are, in general, among the most popular.
Other docs that would be useful would include things like BLT, OraTcl, listx,
mclistbox, memchan, trf, trfcrypt, snack, oomk, tkimg, and tls.
