wish is a windowing shell and takes tcl commands, if this is not enough
read the man pages which you probably don't have because you don't have
wish (Tcl/Tk) installed.

To return the current tty is a bash shell use the 'tty' command.
Example:
TTY=`tty`
echo $TTY

I know this is a bit off topic, but i wasn't sure where else to ask
it.... Several progs i have dl'ed lately have been asking for
the program wish (wish(8) to be precise) and i can't find it anywhere.
I am running Slackware 3.4 ftp'd version and I'd really
like to build these progs.

TIA

PS: is there a system call that i can build into a shell script (bash)
to retrieve the current tty (the one that the bash is
running on when making the call)???
