Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm using Visual TCL to create really nice custom GUI with labels and one
EXIT button to exit out of the GUI. Next to each label, I have a blank label
with -relief sunken -textvariable getdata, to display the data I get from
running a command at the csh prompt. I couldn't find any option in VCTL to
run a command and display the output or data in the label box. I'm not
really sure if I can use the entry box to display data because I think it's
for data entry. Please let me know if there are other ways to display data
from running a command line program and also how to display only a certain
part of the data on the GUI blank label box or whatever box to display. For
example, this is part of what I like to display in my GUI.

showDate  Wed.1/4/97 <--- taken from %date command or I guess "exec date"
showTime  1:20PM     <--- taken from %time command or I guess "exec time"

Thank you in advance for your help and time. I'm looking forward to your
reply. Take care.
