I'm now working on Tkx implementation of an old PTk application and have run into similar problems when trying to create three text widgets that can be scrolled by a single scrollbar (the classic multiple listbox problem but with text widgets) I've noticed that even in TclTk people have had problems. But then when you try to do it in Tkx, you run into the syntax issues mentioned above. What we really need is a translation guide from Tcl syntax to Tkx syntax, especially when the translation is not standard. Isn't Tkx supposed to be a very thin wrapper around Tcl? If so, surely such a translation guide can't be that difficult to create. (I really think that Tkx is one of the keys to the future of Perl. I would love to see these issues sorted out and documented.) Laurence.
