where <I>framename</I> is the Tk pathname of a frame.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>addcommandentry</B> command is used with the GUI wrapper in
magic version 7.3. It adds a narrow text entry frame to the bottom
of the window. This frame duplicates the output of the Tk console,
and can be used as an alternative console from which to enter
command-line commands. The <I>framename</I> is the Tk path name
of the frame holding the layout window. By default these are
named <B>.layout1</B>, <B>.layout2</B>, etc., for each call to
<B>openwrapper</B>. <P>
The command entry window has a prompt with the name of the Tk frame,
e.g., "<TEXT color=brown><TT>layout1&gt;</TT></TEXT>", and all
window commands entered into this area will be relative to the
associated layout window.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>addcommandentry</B> is implemented as a Tcl procedure defined
in the GUI wrapper script. It is only available when the wrapper
is used, that is, when <B>magic</B> is invoked with argument <B>-w</B>.
