I am trying to run the 'console show' command. But Tk is not having it.
 Error in startup script: invalid command name "console"

"console show"

Compilation failed.
  To my dismay, the manual says,
 "Except for TkAqua, this command is not available when Tk is loaded
into a tclsh interpreter with 'package require Tk' as a conventional
terminal is expected to be present in that case."
 I guess I will never understand that decision. So what if a terminal
is expected to be present? How about letting that decision up to us?
 Anyway, I try to run the script with wish and the same error happens
 Any solution to that?
 

Hello,
regarding console,
there are also differences between wish and tclsh on Windows:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/UserCmd/wish.htm#M14
One solution would be:
https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/console+for+Unix
a wrapper for console.tcl in $tk_library
Also works with Windows.
