.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBoption\fR command allows you to add entries to the Tk option
form of the command adds a new option to the database.
\fIPattern\fR contains
the option being specified, and consists of names and/or classes
-separated by asterisks or dots, in the usual X format. \fIValue\fR
+separated by asterisks or dots, in the usual X format (see
+\fBPATTERN FORMAT\fR). \fIValue\fR
contains a text string to associate with \fIpattern\fR; this is the
value that will be returned in calls to \fBTk_GetOption\fR or by
invocations of the \fBoption get\fR command. If \fIpriority\fR
.TP
\fBinteractive\fR
Level 80. Used for options specified interactively after the application
-starts running. If \fIpriority\fR isn't specified, it defaults to
+starts running. If \fIpriority\fR is not specified, it defaults to
this level.
-.LP
+.PP
Any of the above keywords may be abbreviated. In addition, priorities
may be specified numerically using integers between 0 and 100,
inclusive. The numeric form is probably a bad idea except for new priority
levels other than the ones given above.

+.SH "PATTERN FORMAT"
+.PP
+Patterns consist of a sequence of words separated by either periods,
+.QW . ,
+or asterisks
+.QW * .
+The overall pattern may also be optionally preceded by an asterisk.
+.PP
+Each word in the pattern conventionally starts with either an upper-case
+letter (in which case it denotes the class of either a widget or an option) or
+any other character, when it denotes the name of a widget or option. The last
+word in the pattern always indicates the option; the preceding ones constrain
+which widgets that option will be looked for in.
+.PP
+When two words are separated by a period, the latter widget must be a direct
+child of the former (or the option must apply to only the indicated widgets).
+When two words are separated by an asterisk, any depth of widgets may lie
+between the former and latter widgets (and the option applies to all widgets
+that are children of the former widget).
+.PP
+If the overall pattern is preceded by an asterisk, then the overall pattern
+applies anywhere it can throughout the whole widget hierarchy. Otherwise the
+first word of the pattern is matched against the name and class of the
+.QW \fB.\fR
+\fBtoplevel\fR, which are usually set by options to \fBwish\fR.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+Instruct every button in the application to have red text on it unless
+explicitly overridden, by setting the \fBforeground\fR for the \fBButton\fR
+class (note that on some platforms the option is ignored):
+.CS
+\fBoption add\fR *Button.foreground red startupFile
+.CE
+.PP
+Allow users to control what happens in an entry widget when the Return
+key is pressed by specifying a script in the option database and add a
+default option for that which rings the bell:
+.CS
+entry .e
+bind .e <Return> [\fBoption get\fR .e returnCommand Command]
+\fBoption add\fR *.e.returnCommand bell widgetDefault
+.CE
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
