Hi John It is Tcl/Tk, a scripting language. Yes it's read each time on startup. If you want to play a bit with it read on.
This language uses a couple of shells that it runs inside of. The graphical shell is "wish". You can start wish by typing that into a terminal. You won't see anything but a blank display but you can add stuff by typing into the terminal. Below is a quick example that you can try. You'll see my terminal prompt followed by the stuff I typed in. You'll also see the wish prompt (%) and a response from wish when it accepted the button command. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ wish % button .b1 -text "Whatever" .b1 % pack .b1 -fill both -expand yes % Once the button is in there, click it and you'll see the edge change from raised to recessed. You can kill off wish by clicking on the [x] or use <control>c from the keyboard. So the short answer to the question you didn't quite ask is, yes you can make changes to tkemc and see those changes when you restart EMC2. Keep a backup laying around because, like any programming language, Tcl/Tk has a very precise syntax.
