Couple of points:
i) There are two R News articles you should read. Not all of their examples
work "as is", but it will give a rather nice introduction that
should help
you understand the framework. The second article also explained what
changed in the R / tcltk interaction, and why.
ii) Read and try to modify the examples and the demos in the tcltk package
itself.
iii) Look at James Wettenhall's excellent 'cookbook' website at
http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/
iv) Read / search the mailing list archives. Various people have posted
snippets in response to questions.
v) Look at some of the other 'public' code using tcltk. By the far the
most
extensive example is Rcmd by John Fox.
vi) Lastly, use some other *tk documentation. I find the 2nd edition of the
Perl/Tk book by O'Reilly quite helpful for an overview of what is
available, as well as short examples.
Hope this helps, Dirk
