Thanks for responding. How far does this go? This was a
trivial example so I didn't expect much but there appears
to be little support for using "after" in general. If I
have an actual procedure to call, just write the entire
code as a single string and pass it to .Tcl() method?
For instance, if one wanted to set a minimum size for a
Tk application, the Tcl code might be as follows:
after idle [format {
update idletasks
wm minsize %s [winfo reqwidth %s] [winfo reqheight %s]
} $top $top $top]
Also, could you (Peter) clarify whether the environment
created with each Tk widget should be considered "private"?
In other words, is storing widget-specific user data
within its environment user-supported functionality?
