Unix-style man pages suck horridly (you have to already know something
in order to look for it). Gnu info pages are not much better. But it
really does tcl/tk a terrible injustice to call its documentation
"manpages": they're written in html (http://www.tcl.tk ->
Documentation), so you can browse them effectively. They're pretty
well crosslinked, too.
But what surprises me is that the wiki hasn't been emphasized in this
thread. It's full of examples, explanations, neat tricks, workarounds,
and all other sorts of wonderful resources. And it's searchable on your
own keywords, both in the titles and in the text. Give it a try!
