My only problem with this is that if the Tcl/Tk script fails for any
other reason, then the message is:

 Switching to text mode now

Not a very useful message. Currently, we do not check for any other
errors in the script but I at least wanted to have users contact the
developers if an error occured that was not expected. Also, we may add
other error checking in the future. Anyway, it doesn't really matter.
I'll remove if you think it is confusing. Perhaps we can change it to

 An error occured in the Tcl/Tk script.
 Switching to text mode now.

Let me know what you decide and I'll change it appropriately.
