I have looked through the Ousterhout manual, and read FAQs, but am
missing something.  I would like to "hook" a list of data to a widget,
without it displaying in any way in the widget.  That is, I have
"pretty-fied" information that I want a given widget to reflect and
usually use the -textvariable option to save having to keep track of
changes, but I also have some information that ain't so pretty that I
want to use elsewhere in my program, and would like to asynchronously
call up when the user clicks on it.  Is there a -var or -val option
that isn't reflected anywhere in the widget (preferrably in the most
base class).  Thanking you all in advance, please email me at
eflatt@draper.com.  Thanks.
