Good job on the Tcl/Tk mods.  


Do the parport scripts produce a window?  Are you using the correct
address for your parport.  If you are trying to run the parport viewer as a
user, you will need to change some permissions.  These are listed in the
faq on the handbook.  My copy says question 3 but the current version may be
different. 

When you are running the emc, you can't change parport pin values with
exercise because the rt processes have control of it.
