Welcome, Resmon.  I'm always glad to hear from people from different
parts of the world, as the different perspectives they bring to our
discussions can only make those discussions more useful.  I'm also glad
you're looking into Visual Tcl, as I think in has quite a bit of
potential to be a useful tool for education (with a little bit of
tweaking).  I'll be posting a message about another possibility for a
Linux authoring tool later this morning.
