NAME
       tk - Manipulate Tk internal state

SYNOPSIS
       tk option ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The  tk	command provides access to miscellaneous elements
       of Tk's internal state.	Most of the  information  manipu-
       lated  by  this	command	 pertains to the application as a
       whole, or to a screen or display, rather than to a partic-
       ular window.  The command can take any of a number of dif-
       ferent forms depending on the option argument.  The  legal
       forms are:

       tk appname ?newName?
	      If  newName  isn't  specified, this command returns
	      the name of the application (the name that  may  be
	      used  in	send  commands	to  communicate	 with the
	      application).  If newName is  specified,	then  the
	      name  of the application is changed to newName.  If
	      the given name is already in use, then a suffix  of
	      the form `` #2'' or `` #3'' is appended in order to
	      make the name unique.  The command's result is  the
	      name  actually  chosen.	newName	 should not start
	      with a capital letter.  This  will  interfere  with
	      option  processing, since names starting with capi-
	      tals are assumed to be classes;  as  a  result,  Tk
	      may not be able to find some options for the appli-
	      cation.  If sends have been  disabled  by	 deleting
	      the  send	 command, this command will reenable them
	      and recreate the send command.
