-.SH NAME
-console \- Control the console on systems without a real console
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBconsole title \fR?\fIstring\fR?
-.sp
-\fBconsole hide\fR
-.sp
-\fBconsole show\fR
-.sp
-\fBconsole eval \fIscript\fR
-.BE
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-The console window is a replacement for a real console to allow input
-and output on the standard I/O channels on platforms that do not have
-a real console. It is implemented as a separate interpreter with the
-Tk toolkit loaded, and control over this interpreter is given through
-the \fBconsole\fR command.
-.PP
-.TP
-\fBconsole eval \fIscript\fR
-Evaluate the \fIscript\fR argument as a Tcl script in the console
-interpreter. The normal interpreter is accessed through the
-\fBconsoleinterp\fR command in the console interpreter.
-.TP
-\fBconsole hide\fR
-Hide the console window from view. Precisely equivalent to
-withdrawing the \fB.\fR window in the console interpreter.
-.TP
-\fBconsole show\fR
-Display the console window. Precisely equivalent to deiconifying the
-\fB.\fR window in the console interpreter.
-.TP
-\fBconsole title \fR?\fIstring\fR?
-Query or modify the title of the console window. If \fIstring\fR is
-not specified, queries the title of the console window, and sets the
-title of the console window to \fIstring\fR otherwise. Precisely
-equivalent to using the \fBwm title\fI command in the console
-interpreter.
-
-.SH "ACCESS TO THE MAIN INTERPRETER"
-.PP
-The \fBconsoleinterp\fR command in the console interpreter allows
-scripts to be evaluated in the main interpreter. It supports two
-subcommands: \fBeval\fR and \fBrecord\fR.
-.PP
-.TP
-\fBconsoleinterp eval \fIscript\fR
-Evaluates \fIscript\fR as a Tcl script at the global level in the main
-interpreter.
-.TP
-\fBconsoleinterp record \fIscript\fR
-Records and evaluates \fIscript\fR as a Tcl script at the global level
-in the main interpreter as if \fIscript\fR had been typed in at the
-console.
-
-.SH "ADDITIONAL TRAP CALLS"
-.PP
-There are several additional commands in the console interpreter that
-are called in response to activity in the main interpreter.
-.PP
-Output to the console from the main interpreter via the stdout and
-stderr channels is handled by invoking the \fBtkConsoleOutput\fR
-command in the console interpreter with two arguments. The first
-argument is the name of the channel being written to, and the second
-argument is the string being written to the channel (after encoding
-and end-of-line translation processing has been performed.)
-.PP
-When the \fB.\fR window of the main interpreter is destroyed, the
-\fBtkConsoleExit\fR command in the console interpreter is called
-(assuming the console interpreter has not already been deleted itself,
-that is.)
-
-.SH KEYWORDS
-console, Tk, interpreter, window, interactive, output channels
-
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-destroy(n), fconfigure(n), history(n), interp(n), puts(n), wm(n)
