And give people a direct pointer to the file in my directory. Why
didn't I think of it ??? It's much simpler .... :o}

I don't object at all. Maintaining the ptk module by editing an HTML
file is not much fun.

All in all, this is very good news.
But, the Tk modules are now covering quite a range of applications:
specialised widget (RO::Text, TreeGraph ,...) , "real estate" manager
(NoteBook, Pane ...), development widget (debugger, logger) and so on.
Would it be possible to add sub-chapters in the module list within the
Tk (or XML, or whatever) category ?
