# A Python program implementing rmt, an application for remotely
# controlling other Tk applications.
# Cf. Ousterhout, Tcl and the Tk Toolkit, Figs. 27.5-8, pp. 273-276.

# Note that because of forward references in the original, we
# sometimes delay bindings until after the corresponding procedure is
# defined.  We also introduce names for some unnamed code blocks in
# the original because of restrictions on lambda forms in Python.

# 1. Create basic application structure: menu bar on top of
# text widget, scrollbar on right.

root = Tk()
tk = root.tk
mBar = Frame(root, {'relief': 'raised', 'bd': 2,
		    Pack: {'side': 'top', 'fill': 'x'}})

# 3. Create bindings for text widget to allow commands to be

# can only be added at the end of the text (can't ever move
# insertion point).

# then do nothing.  Otherwise, execute command (locally or
# remotely), output the result or error message, and issue
# a new prompt.

# the prompt on the current command line to reflect the new
# name.
