The available edit windows in tcl/tk are a bit limited. It seems like you can either have a one-line editable field or a whole rectangle that you can enter any text into.
No, this is a limitation of u_main.tk, because it was written by people who haven't learned Tcl/Tk more than the bare minimum, so, they write in a pidgin of C and Tcl, and they don't know the listbox command.
I wonder why they used Tcl/Tk at all then...
I suggest that you don't learn Tcl/Tk by reading u_main.tk.
Unfortunately the only use I can think of for Tcl/Tk is u_main.tk. So I hop between that and the man pages at www.tcl.tk (which would be a lot better if they had examples as well as definitions). And then my five minutes are up and its on to something else. Martin
