http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/UserCmd/wish.htm wish is a simple [Tcl]/[Tk] application created during the build process of Tk. It has minimal functionality other than reading files and attempting to execute the Tcl commands inside. It does perform an implicit package require Tk as well as drop the user into an event loop. ---- Remember that to pass arguments to wish, like display name, etc. the arguments come '''after''' the file name to execute AND any arguments before the -- are processed by wish rather than end up in the [argv] list. ---- Since Tcl/Tk 8.4 , it is said that this application is no longer necessary; that with tclsh and a package require Tk 8.4 one has the complete functionality of this application. Any comments - any exceptions, caveats, or additional lines you would recommend'to ensure the complete compatibility? See [tclsh vs. wish]. ---- People writing scripts to be loaded from the ''wish'' command line should be aware that [\u001a is an end-of-file character in scripts]. I thought this was true for Tcl in general? ---- [Category Application]
