Well, the doc side is worrisome, agreed

As I have no prior familiarity with either (beyond reading the book on 
Perl/Tk), it seems like I might as well plunge straight into Tkx considering 
that it seems to be a more future-proof path. I'll just have to endure the 
lack of (or at least, the Tcl based) docs. I think...well, I'm not quite 
into the stage where I have to start grappling with it, so I'll ponder it 
for a bit...

Thanks for your help,
