Well that would be fun too! But I admit it: I'm already onto the basics
of programming (well, since 1974) but like Linus, I don't know _anything_
about tcl.
	Oops. No, now I do.

Okay, I've been having a problem -- my install doesn't respond to man Tcl.
I guess it's time to go look at why ... doodle doodle ... oh, whaddya
know? The only reason I put tcl on was to run "make xconfig" and the
default installation doesn't include tcl8.3-doc, which appears to contain
the man pages.
	Okay, got it. And yup, there's the explanation.

You didn't tell me to do that? Oh my. I guess I just stumbled into it and
made a complication for you. I'm sorry! I had no idea. I thought that was
what I was supposed to do all along... shame on me.
	Oops. Come to think of it, I'm saying "oops" a lot.

Very much so, thanks!
