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 "$0" "$@"
