+.\" Are these useful? They don't invoke the -command
+.\" Missing: flash. This is definitely not useful.
+.SH "WIDGET STATES"
+The widget does not respond to user input if the \fBdisabled\fP state is set.
+The widget sets the \fBselected\fP state whenever
+the linked \fB-variable\fP is set to the widget's \fB-onvalue\fP,
+and clears it otherwise.
+The widget sets the \fBalternate\fP state whenever the
+linked \fB-variable\fP is unset.
+(The \fBalternate\fP state may be used to indicate a ``tri-state''
+or ``indeterminate'' selection.)
