______________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       xowish -	Simple windowing shell containing NSF/XOTcl2 interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       xowish ?fileName?

______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       xowish ?fileName?
	      xowish  is a shell-like application including Tcl	and the	XOTcl2
	      as well as the Tk	toolkit. xowish	creates	 a  main  window  and,
	      then,  reads  commands  from its standard	input or from fileName
	      and evaluates them.  If invoked without fileName,	then  it  runs
	      in  REPL mode, reading commands from standard input. xowish will
	      continue processing commands until all windows have been deleted
	      or until end-of-file is reached on standard input.

	      xowish can be used like wish to make XOTcl2 scripts directly in-
	      vocable from the shell, by providing the	following  first  line
	      ("shebang") in the respective script:

		#! /usr/bin/env	xowish

	      A	(more portable)	alternative is:

		#! /bin/sh
		# the next line	restarts using xowish \
		    exec xowish	"$0" "$@"
