[R] Me again, about the horrible documentation of tcltk

[Philippe Grosjean]

For those who are interested, I just cook a little tcltkHelp() function 
to ease access to the Tcl/Tk documentation under Windows. This is on the 
Wiki discussion of the TkCommands help page at: 
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=rdoc:tcltk:tkcommands
Best,

Philippe Grosjean
