In order to write an application that uses tkined, you do not need to
change any line of the tkined source code (and you better should not).
Applications run in their own process (normally a somewhat extended
tcl interpreter) that interacts with the tkined editor using a
socketpair. The communication protocol is hidden by a set of 'ined
...' commands described in the tkined man page. See my reply to an
earlier question for an example script.
What you have to do is to add your new commands to tclsh or scotty or
whatever tcl interpreter you prefer. Then write a script that handles
the interaction with tkined and your new extended tcl interpreter.
Hope this helps,
