Re: Idle func -> 100% CPU usage

[Gary Ross <gdr hooked net>]

Just curious about why you need the Tcl event loop running. If
you are using Tcl as the command language for your program all
you need to do is call Tcl_Evaluate from your signal handlers
whenever you want to run a Tcl command.

For example if you have an entry widget that you can type Tcl
commands in, just call Tcl_Evaluate from the activate signal
handler for the entry widget.
