That's it.  And the settings window shows start stuff and the radiobuttons
that were along the right edge of the tkemc screen.

In auto mode, the program window is little more than a decoration that
gives a bit of operator information.  There is a rather wimpy widget
command, ($textwin see "index") that is used to show the line that is
highlighted.  This see command would fight with a scroll widget unless we
could figure out a way to apply the scroll value to offset see's position
rather than simply sliding through the text widget.  Keep thinking!

Great.  The EMC needs all the help it can get.
