Once you've installed AlphaTk you may also wish to do the following:

Printing:
---------

you may wish to install the 'printer' and 'gdi' packages to enable printing.
You can also install 'Winico' to let AlphaTk use nice icons for its windows.  Make sure
you install versions which are compatible with the version of Tcl you use (or Tcl will 
crash when AlphaTk starts up and tries to load them).

How to 'Edit' a file from explorer?  
-----------------------------------

Enter the dde message "edit {%1}", the dde application "TclEval", and 
dde topic "Alpha". For the 'dde application not running' enter:
	<location of wish> <location of alphatk.tcl> "%1"

For pre Tcl8.1 you could try to enter as the 'edit' action under the 
particular file type the following:
  
  <location of wish> <location of runalpha.tcl> "%1"

E.g. I use C:/Apps/Tcl8.1/bin/wish81.exe C:/Apps/Alpha/runalpha.tcl "%1"

Then you can just right-click on a file of that type and select edit to have it 
open in AlphaTk.

How to send files to Alpha from other applications?
---------------------------------------------------

For applications which do not support dde, you can tell them to open files
using Alpha with a line like the above, or if that doesn't work, there is
an attached batch file which you can send files to.  It's not a very quick
or pleasant solution, but it does work.

--------------------------------------------------

Prowrap: you can attempt to prowrap AlphaTk using this command line:

cd AlphaTk

prowrap -uses wish -startup alphatk.tcl *.* */*.* */*/*.* */*/*/*.* 
  -relativeto C:/PROGRA~1/TclPro 
  C:/PROGRA~1/TclPro/lib/tk8.2/images/pwrdLogo150.gif

but there are some problems with the current prowrap implementation
which prevent it from working with AlphaTk (the current stumbling block
is that 'file type Alpha/Tcl/SystemCode' fails with an error).
