+Tcl has no default implementation for \fBbgerror\fR. However, in
+applications using Tk there is a default \fBbgerror\fR procedure which
+posts a dialog box containing the error message and offers the user a
+chance to see a stack trace showing where the error occurred. In
+addition to allowing the user to view the stack trace, the dialog
+provides an additional application configurable button which may be
+used, for example, to save the stack trace to a file. By default,
+this is the behavior associated with that button. This behavior can
+be redefined by setting the option database values
+\fB*ErrorDialog.function.text\fR, to specify the caption for the
+function button, and \fB*ErrorDialog.function.command\fR, to specify
+the command to be run. The text of the stack trace is appended to the
+command when it is evaluated. If either of these options is set to
+the empty string, then the additional button will not be displayed in
+the dialog.
