Hello,
I am trying to get extra widgets on Spec tcl, if anyone has used it?? It is a GUI for making GUI's, I need to send program output to the gui but cant seem to see a widget for it, I am using it to create perl interfaces, even when I config it for TCL interfaces it dosent show any more widgets, I do have TK installed on my system, it is a windows 2000 box skottieb:)

Maybe you missed to use pack (or grid, or place)? Only toplevel windows are displayed once created.

After a widget is created (i.e.
Code: 
text .t
) it must be placed with a geometry manager like pack, grid or place. After a widget (and all its parents) is placed, it can be displayed.
Sometimes you need
Code: 
update
to enter the windows event loop before the widgets be displayed on the screen.

Exemple with Tcl/Tk:
Code: 
toplevel .top
text .top.t
button .top.b -text exit -command exit
pack .top.t .top.b
# only before heavy calculus
update

Good luck
