CmdWidget

subclass of Widget
CmdWidget creates a window in which Tcl commands can be typed. The command will be executed when the Enter key is pressed with the cursor positioned at the end of the command currently being edited, and the command is complete Tcl command. The output of the commands will be redirected to the cmd widget. Previous commands can be gotten and edited before execution using Alt-Up (default keypress, can be changed).

Classy::cmd
is a convience function that pops up a toplevel containing a CmdWidget with a scroll bar.
