DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure  is  invoked  to add an option to the database associated with tkwin's main window.  Name
       contains the option being specified and consists of names and/or classes separated by asterisks or  dots,
       in  the  usual  X  format.   Value  contains  the  text string to associate with name; this value will be
       returned in calls to Tk_GetOption.  Priority specifies the  priority  of  the  value;  when  options  are
       queried  using Tk_GetOption, the value with the highest priority is returned.  Priority must be between 0
       and TK_MAX_PRIO (100).  Some common priority values are:

       TK_WIDGET_DEFAULT_PRIO
                           Used for default values hard-coded into widgets.

       TK_STARTUP_FILE_PRIO                    Used for options specified in application-specific startup files.

       TK_USER_DEFAULT_PRIO                                        Used for options specified  in  user-specific
                                                                   defaults  files, such as .Xdefaults, resource
                                                                   databases loaded into the X server, or  user-
                                                                   specific startup files.

       TK_INTERACTIVE_PRIO                                                             Used      for     options
                                                                                       specified   interactively
                                                                                       after   the   application
                                                                                       starts running.
