.TH WISH 1 .SH NAME wish \- interface to the Tk graphics toolkit .SH SYNOPSIS .B wish [ .I file ... ] .PP .B wm/wish [ .B -k ] [ .BI -f " file" ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Wish provides a Tcl command line interface to the Limbo/Tk graphics toolkit. The input should be in the format of Tcl or Tk commands (see .IR intro (9)). There are two variants. .PP Plain .B wish must be run from the Inferno console instead of .IR mux (1) or .IR wm (1). It takes input from each .I file in turn, then prompts for further commands from the standard input. Its commands operate on a Tk toplevel covering the whole screen. .PP .BR Wm/wish runs instead in a shell window under .IR wm (1). It reads initial input from the optional .IR file , then prompts for further commands on its standard input unless the .B -k option is given. Its commands operate on the Tk toplevel of a new window created by .B Wmlib->titlebar (see .IR wmlib (2)), initially titled .BR WishPad . .PP The following special input sequences are recognised: .TP .B \en newline .TP .B \et tab .TP .B \eb backspace .TP .B \e\e backslash .SH FILES .B /dev/pointer .br .B /dev/keyboard .SH SOURCE .B /appl/cmd/wish.b .br .B /appl/wm/wish.b .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR sh-tk (1), .IR tkcmd (1), .IR tk (2), .IR intro (9) .SH BUGS Arguably this has been superseded by .IR sh-tk (1) for scripting Tk applications, and .IR tkcmd (1) for development and testing of Tk configurations for use by Limbo programs.
