The file menu.tcl in the lib/tk8.0 directory needs to be changed. Here's a
diff
of the patched file and the original in the 8.0 release:
diff -b menu.tcl menu.tcl.orig
1190c1190
< tk_menuSetFocus $menu
---
> tk_menuSetFocus($menu);
The file menu.tcl is located, by default, in /usr/local/lib/tk8.0, but might be
somewhere else on your system - look for a "lib" directory in the same
directory
as the "bin" directory containing "tclsh8.0".
In the message quoted above, I suggested getting "tcl8.1" - this was a typo on
my part, you can, and probably should, get tcl8.01, a maintenance release,
which fixes the above and other small problems in tcl8.0. Tcl8.1 is still in
prerelease, as far as I know.
hope this helps/buz (sometimes "/b").
