-command assocates a TCL command with the button. Is filename a C executable or a TCL command?

If you do even a rudementary seach on the Internet, you will find information on how to do it.
Hint: check out the TCL exec command.

Its been a while ( very long actually ) since am in touch with tcl/tk.

But I kind of remember calling the executables like ' [ executable ] '

Just give it a shot in the dark.
