[Tkoutline-users] persistent tclkit trap

[TMaynard <ru...@ma...>]

  Hopefully this post will get me some help along with exercising this 
mail list.
I have just deleted the contents of my tkoutline directory and reloaded 
the starkit and the tkoutline.kit to overcome  error(s) that is somehow 
persistent.   The error came about when I started playing with the 
tkoutline.def statements and also, in the startup script, I had entered  
the short script for adding color to outline levels (see wiki tkoutline 
discussion).  I created the error using tkoutline-devel, but found that 
the error "spilled" over when I switched back to starting  plain 
tkoutline.kit script.
     I don't understand the mysteries of starkit with its packaged 
directory tree and"wrapping", but I figured to overcome the 
"persistence" of the bad tcl configuration by  downloading fresh starkit 
and tkoutline.kit.
  I went through the usual down load, rename starkit, set permissions  
and the error persists. Having deleted the old "kit" files before 
downloading, I don't understand where the data from a faulty 
configuration instruction can persist. 
   I wondered if  the starkit system could be caching important data (in 
its virtual filesystem) into memory and allowing the faulty tcl 
commands  to spawn into a brand new downloaded starkit. I even rebooted 
and the error persists making me wonder if I have to download and 
install new "kits"  and then reboot before making the first   command 
line to start tkoutline (havent done that yet, awaiting enlightenment)
  Well its interesting: first I employed  quiting and restarting to 
tryout  tcl startup and configurations ... now I find that I cant seem 
to quit the condition I have created.
