Yowza: "The base widgets are button <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1048>s, sliders,
label <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1436>s, entry <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1428>,
frame<http://wiki.tcl.tk/1051>s,
treeview, and notebook <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2298>. There is no
listbox<http://wiki.tcl.tk/1437>,
canvas <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1415>, menu <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1006>s, or
text<http://wiki.tcl.tk/1402>widget. [Anyone care to add a comment as
to why this is the case?]"

I cann see listbox being just a treeview without subnodes, and maybe they
just have not goteen to menus... anyway, i think I will just get back to
work and forget Tile till I learn more.
