See, for example, http://mini.net/tcl/1126 and nearby URLs, where such right-to-left is discussed. As long as things implemented in Tcl/Tk first, and then get eventually copied to perlTk, I think it is quite reasonable to do this at C level in Tcl, or at Tcl level. -++**==--++**==--++**==--++**==--++**==--++**==--++**== This message was posted through the Stanford campus mailing list server.
