DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a convenient history mechanism for Entry widgets.	The history may be accessed with the up and down arrow keys.

       ::history::init pathName ?length?
	      Arranges	to  remember  the  history of the named Entry widget. An optional length determines the number of history entries to keep.
	      This may be changed later with ::history::configure. History entries must be added with the ::history::add command before  they  can
	      be seen.

       ::history::remove pathName
	      Forgets all history entries for the Entry pathName and removes the history bindings.

       ::history::add pathName text
	      This command is used to add history entries to an Entry that has previously had ::history::init called on it. This command should be
	      called from your Entry handler with the contents of the entry (or whatever you wish to add to the history).

       ::history::get pathName
	      This command returns a list containing the history entries for the Entry pathName

       ::history::clear pathName
	      This command clears the history list for the named Entry.

       ::history::configure pathName option ?value?
	      This command queries or sets configuration options. Currently the options recognized are length and alert. Setting the length deter-
	      mines the number of history entries to keep for the named Entry. Alert specifies the command to run when the user reaches the end of
	      the history, it defaults to
