NAME
       xowish - Simple windowing shell containing NSF/XOTcl2 interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       xowish ?fileName?

______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       xowish ?fileName?
              xowish is a shell-like application including Tcl and the XOTcl2
              as well as the Tk toolkit. xowish creates a main window and,
              then, reads commands from its standard input or from fileName
              and evaluates them.  If invoked without fileName, then it runs
              in REPL mode, reading commands from standard input. xowish will
              continue processing commands until all windows have been deleted
              or until end-of-file is reached on standard input.

              xowish can be used like wish to make XOTcl2 scripts directly
              invokable from the shell, by providing the following first line
              ("shebang") in the respective script:
              #! /usr/bin/env xowish

              A (more portable) alternative is:
              #! /bin/sh
              # the next line restarts using xowish \
              exec xowish "$0" "$@"
