DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure	is invoked to add an option to the database associated with tkwin's main window.  Name contains the option being specified
       and consists of names and/or classes separated by asterisks or dots, in the usual X format.  Value contains the text  string  to  associate
       with  name;  this  value will be returned in calls to Tk_GetOption.  Priority specifies the priority of the value; when options are queried
       using Tk_GetOption, the value with the highest priority is returned.  Priority must be between 0 and  TK_MAX_PRIO.   Some  common  priority
       values are:

       20     Used for default values hard-coded into widgets.

       40     Used for options specified in application-specific startup files.

       60     Used  for  options  specified  in  user-specific defaults files, such as .Xdefaults, resource databases loaded into the X server, or
	      user-specific startup files.

       80     Used for options specified interactively after the application starts running.
