Gus, I'll try to research that subject at least a bit before coming in on May. I know it can be done because so many of my Tcl/Tk books have sections on adding custom widgets. Extensibility is the name of the game in Tcl. That's why it was invented (actually the whole GUI Tk was just an extension originally, albeit a very popular one). To help me out, do you want to know how to add custom widgets to VisualTcl, or just to wish? In a broader sense, I do want to add a disclaimer: I hadn't envisioned this as a Tcl tutorial. Indeed, I don't think of myself as being qualified to teach one. But I can come prepared to answer specific questions, if only by pointing people to pertinent sources. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
