If you are interested in creating a tree widget, then you should look into the
$GISBASE/bwidget Tcl/Tk library. It includes functions to create a tree widget
and may be useful to you. I haven't used the tree widget myself, but I am using
other bwidget features for the Tcl/Tk version of v.digit, as well as the new
initialization routines. There are README files in the bwidget directory that
inform you how to use bwidget with GRASS as well as how to run the demo scripts
and find the html man pages.

I'm sorry I did not have time to try your code, and this suggestion could be
totally off-base. I just thought this may be useful to you.
