Hi Frank,

there is already such a widget. See on the Tcl'ers wiki:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/13272

BTW I have also created a page on the wiki for sudokut:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/15050
Both pages have references to each other.

My initial goal with sudokut was precisely to write something that
would not require a GUI. Just a command line tool. I see though that
there is a demand for some step-by-step options to just assist and
provide hints and clues while solving a puzzle. I'm currently
implementing this: it will be in the next version.

OTOH feel free to develop a GUI over sudokut and participate in the
development if you wish.

Cheers

Bernard
