       xowish - Simple windowing shell containing NSF/XOTcl2 interpreter

SYNOPSIS

       xowish ?fileName?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       xowish ?fileName?
              xowish  is a shell-like application including Tcl and the XOTcl2 as well as the Tk toolkit. xowish
              creates a main window and, then, reads commands from its  standard  input  or  from  fileName  and
              evaluates  them.   If  invoked  without fileName, then it runs in REPL mode, reading commands from
              standard input. xowish will continue processing commands until all windows have  been  deleted  or
              until end-of-file is reached on standard input.

              xowish  can  be  used  like  wish  to  make  XOTcl2  scripts directly invokable from the shell, by
              providing the following first line ("shebang") in the respective script:

                #! /usr/bin/env xowish

              A (more portable) alternative is:

                #! /bin/sh
                # the next line restarts using xowish \
                    exec xowish "$0" "$@"
