.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
A main window is a special kind of toplevel window used as the
outermost window in an application.
.PP
If \fIinterp\fR is associated with a Tk application then \fBTk_MainWindow\fR
returns the application's main window. If there is no Tk application
associated with \fIinterp\fR then \fBTk_MainWindow\fR returns NULL and
leaves an error message in interpreter \fIinterp\fR's result.
.PP
\fBTk_GetNumMainWindows\fR returns a count of the number of main
windows currently open in the current thread.
\fBTk_SetMainMenubar\fR
Called when a toplevel widget is brought to front. On the Macintosh,
sets up the menubar that goes across the top of the main monitor. On
other platforms, nothing is necessary.
\fBTk_SetWindowMenubar\fR associates a menu with a window.
The old menu clones for the menubar are thrown away, and a handler is
set up to allocate the new ones.
