I'm trying to figure out how to access the initial top-level window... ie. the equivalent of opening wish and typing...

. config -bg black

I tried this in lisp,

(with-ltk () (configure nil :background "darkgreen"))

But it didn't seem to work. It gets translated to...

NIL configure -background {darkgreen}

Hm... I tried other variations where 'nil' was and looked at the code for configure and widget-path but that didn't shed any light. What am I missing?

To call all these functions on the inital window, I created the dummy widget *tk*. Just pass it to configure et al. Peter
