.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBmainwindow\fR command creates a mainwindow shell which contains
a menubar, toolbar, mousebar, childsite, status line, and help line.  
Each item may be filled and configured to suit individual needs.

.SH "METHODS"
.PP
The \fBmainwindow\fR command create a new Tcl command whose
name is \fIpathName\fR.  This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:
.DS C
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.DE
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following
commands are possible for mainwindow widgets:

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS"
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
by \fIoption\fR.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBmainwindow\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBchildsite\fR
Returns the pathname of the child site widget.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list).  If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified).  If
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s);  in
this case the command returns an empty string.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBmainwindow\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBmenubar\fR ?\fIargs\fR?
The \fBmenubar\fR method provides access to the menubar.  Invoked with

entry for details on the commands available in the menubar.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBmousebar\fR ?\fIargs\fR?
The \fBmousebar\fR method provides access to the mousebar which is a 
vertical toolbar.  Invoked with no arguments it returns the pathname 
of the mousebar.  With arguments, they are evaluated against the mousebar 
which in effect provides access to the entire API of the underlying 
toolbar.  See the "toolbar" manual entry for details on the commands 
available in the mousebar.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBmsgd\fR ?\fIargs\fR?
The \fBmsgd\fR method provides access to the messagedialog contained
in the mainwindow.  Invoked with no arguments it returns the pathname 
of the messagedialog.  With arguments, they are evaluated against the 
messagedialog which in effect provides access to the entire API of the 
messagedialog.  See the "messagedialog" manual
entry for details on the commands available in the messagedialog.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBtoolbar\fR ?\fIargs\fR?
The \fBtoolbar\fR method provides access to the toolbar.  Invoked with
