+This directory contains a collection of programs to demonstrate
+the features of the Tk toolkit. The programs are all scripts for
+"wish", a windowing shell. If wish has been installed in /usr/local
+then you can invoke any of the programs in this directory just
+by typing its file name to your command shell. Otherwise invoke
+wish with the file as its first argument, e.g., "wish hello".
+The rest of this file contains a brief description of each program.
+Files with names ending in ".tcl" are procedure packages used by one
+or more of the demo programs; they can't be used as programs by
+themselves so they aren't described below.
+
+hello - Creates a single button; if you click on it, a message
+ is typed and the application terminates.
+
+widget - Contains a collection of demonstrations of the widgets
+ currently available in the Tk library. Most of the .tcl
+ files are scripts for individual demos available through
+ the "widget" program.
+
+ixset - A simple Tk-based wrapper for the "xset" program, which
+ allows you to interactively query and set various X options
+ such as mouse acceleration and bell volume. Thanks to
+ Pierre David for contributing this example.
+
+rolodex - A mock-up of a simple rolodex application. It has much of
+ the user interface for such an application but no back-end
+ database. This program was written in response to Tom
+ LaStrange's toolkit benchmark challenge.
+
+tcolor - A color editor. Allows you to edit colors in several
+ different ways, and will also perform automatic updates
+ using "send".
+
+rmt - Allows you to "hook-up" remotely to any Tk application
+ on the display. Select an application with the menu,
+ then just type commands: they'll go to that application.
+
+timer - Displays a seconds timer with start and stop buttons.
+ Control-c and control-q cause it to exit.
+
+browse - A simple directory browser. Invoke it with and argument
+ giving the name of the directory you'd like to browse.
+ Double-click on files or subdirectories to browse them.
+ Control-c and control-q cause the program to exit.
