    Dear Albert,

    I did a search on the web once and determined that the error is in Tk, and
    should (?) go away if you update Tcl and Tk (if I recall, version 8.3 has
    the problem and version 8.4 fixes it, but I could be wrong about that).
    However, I get this message on my computer at home and have decided just
    to ignore it.  It started happening when I tried to convert as many graphics
    functions as possible from X11 to Tk, and that included loading and handling
    fonts.  Before that, font loading was handled by a direct call to an X11
    subroutine.

    In the console window, go to menu selection "Interp->Packages".  On my
    system, it has a menu cascade entry at the bottom saying "BLT2.4 Loaded".
    This indicates that Tcl knows where to find BLT and has loaded it.
    Otherwise, if it's there, and clicking on the magic window menu
    "Options->Cell Manager" doesn't bring up the cell manager, then I'll
    have to check further.  Make sure you're running "magic -w", or the
    cell manger, technology manager, and toolbar will not be available.
    
    					Regards,
    					Tim
