JMN The Yahoo group location really does seem inconvenient compared to the wiki. Any particular reason you're maintaining it there?
I don't know exactly what the poll is asking, but my vote is that the help should include reference on deprecated/defunct commands. None of the .chm files or html or even the wiki can tell me about tkTextSetCursor for example.
Eventually I find via Google a note from Jeffrey Hobbs:
"The tkA-Z* commands were never public command, and never meant to be used. I can't imagine why one would use that one except for low-level widget stuff. You should be able to use $text mark set insert $index"
... but as it appears in 2 places on the wiki: http://mini.net/tcl/tkTextSetCursor* and in various bits of source around and about on the web - it seems that rumours of its death are greatly exaggerated.
