Bob,
config is not a command. In Ricks example, "." is the command - it's actually
the root widget path. All instances of Tk widgets become commands. config,
cget, etc. are options which operate on the widget.
It is lame that the manuals and most books I've seen don't really make this
clear.
Cheers,
Randy
