# wishx8.3(1)

Extended Tcl (TclX) simple windowing shell

## NAME

wishx - Extended Tcl (TclX) simple windowing shell

## SYNTAX

wishx \[*-f*\] \<*filename*\>\
       \[*-d*\] \<*display*\>

## DESCRIPTION

Wishx is a simple program consisting of the Tcl command language, the TclX libary extension, the Tk toolkit, and a main program that reads commands from standard input or from a file.  It creates a main window and then processes Tcl commands. If wishx is invoked with no arguments, or with a first argument that starts with \`\`-'', then it reads Tcl commands interactively from standard input. It will continue processing commands until all windows have been deleted or until end- of-file is reached on standard input. If there exists a file .wishxrc in the home directory of the user, wish evaluates the file as a Tcl script just before reading the first command from standard input.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** \<*file*\>

  Evaluates the specified Tcl \<*file*\>.

- **-d** \<*display*\>

  Display (and screen) on which to display toplevel windows.
