Re: [MACTCL] tcl_interactive gives 0

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

Yes, but the console is always available in Wish, it just might or 
might not be hidden.  So for a double-clicked Wish, you could start up 
with no console, and have a menu item that did "console show".  Should 
we start up with tcl_interactive of 0 & then switch it to 1 when you 
select this menu item?
