A compound is a branch of a widget tree. It is a collection of widgets that
can be given a name and stored and later retrieved and inserted anywhere in
a gui layout. It's similar to doing a cut/copy/paste, but the cut/copy can
be saved to disk for later retrieval.
A tclet is a tcl program that adheres to some restrictions and can run in a
browser that has the tcl-plugin. Visual Tcl creates tclets in a very
similar fashion to compounds, but with a few restrictions. Because tclets
cannot contain other top-level windows and can itself only be a single
window, vtcl only allows you to create a tclet from a top-level window. The
"toplevel" is discarded and all child widgets are moved up one level. This
*usually* creates a valid tclet. Undesirable side-effects are the renaming
of widgets that occur in compounds (this is another discussion - the short
of it is that it's necessary to avoid possible naming collisions).
this is FAQable material if anyone is maintaining one.

vtcl does not currently support this graphically.

it's probably broken. I haven't finished the binding editor. Help in
completing this would be appreciated.

thanks. all help is welcome.
I will re-interate a previous offer to set up a shared CVS tree for those
that want to do "live" development. It is becoming difficult for me to
manage email patches and patch merges. I would prefer to give wide latitude
to those who are interested in doing serious extensions and enhancements.
