Hidetoshi,

Thank-you for responding. It seems like these changes were in r1.39 of
tcltklib.c, while 1.38 was the version released with with 1.8.0. I
should have checked the CVS.

I would suggest not using the argv parameter space for indicating the
non-desire for Tk. One might one to pass command line arguments to
tclsh ( in the same way as to wish)

While I'm not an active user of vwait, tkwait  and espically not
threads as they're not supported in tcl-expect, I think the TKinter
python library has worked around these type of issues see:

Modules/_tkinter.c in the regular python distribution


I would like to work with yon on improving the transferability of
lists and arrays between tcl and ruby, if you are interisted.
