Re: FORTH accessing Tcl/Tk functionality via DLL in WinXP

I trust you do have Tcl docs? If not, a quick Google found a manual
here <http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/>. There's probably no practical
shortcut to avoid spending some hours with it. On the Forth side,
review the SwiftForth manual on calling DLLs and other such packages.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
