There should be no problem accessing your checkbutton's state variable. The value of the state variable is toggled before Tcl executes the command associated with the checkbutton. Just keep in mind that the checkbutton's state variable must be a global variable. So, your Output_Click procedure would have to start out as follows:

[tt]proc Output_Click {menu label} {
global OPT
# Now you can use the value of OPT in your procedure
# ...
}[/tt]

By default, the value of a checkbutton's state variable is "1" when it is on, and "0" when it is off. You can override these values by providing -onvalue and -offvalue attributes when you create your checkbutton widget or menu item. For example:

[tt]checkbutton .cb -text "Anchovies" -variable opinion -onvalue yum -offvalue icky

# ...

.mbar.prefs add checkbutton -label "Obfuscate" -variable lang -onvalue "Pig Latin" -offvalue "English"[/tt] - Ken Jones, President
