You are welcome to them, but our ftp server is not serving anonamous yet. I have one I have been working on myself too, but it is not ready yet, and I troll for help/comments regularly ... Another idea is to use tcl 7.4 / tk 4.0 which has a curses extension that drives the same widget functionality as the X version. I have begun testing it here. If you are careful the same scripts can be run in both environments. If you or anyone else is interested, email me at kseel@montana.primetime.com.
