NAME
       Wm - Tix's addition to the standard TK wm command.

SYNOPSIS
       wm capture pathName

       wm release pathName

DESCRIPTION
       The  wm  capture  and  the  wm release commands change the
       toplevel attribute of Tk widgets.

COMMAND OPTIONS
       wm capture pathName
              Converts the toplevel window specified by  pathName
              into  a  non-toplevel widget. Normally this command
              is called to convert a toplevel widget into a frame
              widget.  The  newly-converted  frame  widget is un-
              mapped from the screen. To make  it  appear  inside
              its  parent, you must call a geometry manager (e.g.
              pack) explictly.

       wm release pathName
              Makes the non-toplevel window specified by pathName
              into  a  toplevel  widget. Normally this command is
              called to convert a frame widget  into  a  toplevel
              widget, but it can also be used on any non-toplevel
              widget (e.g, button). The newly-converted  toplevel
              window  is  automatically  mapped to the screen. To
              prevent it from appearing in the screen,  you  must
              call  wm  withdraw  immediately  after  calling  wm
              release.
