Hmmm ...  Funny code, but there are things about tcl that I
haven't  yet learned, so I stuffed it into a file and added
the obvious frame and button and pack commands.  When I ran
it, sure enough, I got a popup error window that told me:


can't specify ">" as last word in command
    while executing
"exec echo "$logs" >"
    (command bound to event)


So it's not valid tcl after all.  Any more clues that might
help  us  construct  something that works?  I don't offhand
know of an answer to the question.  If there is a way to do
it,  I'd  like to add a working example to my tcl/examples/
directory.
