Hi Keith,
sorry for this unpleasant experience.

IMHO your code is 100% correct and I have never observed that switch
"hangs".
Possible reasons:
- there is an event waiting which is executed in the "update
idletasks".
Eventually, this event calls "vwait" or "tkwait" and will never
return.
- broken TCL interpreter (if so provide system, source of interpreter,
compiler etc)

Hope this helps,
Harald

Never mind it was a mistake in the proc for the *prior* command. It's always
something else...

To avoid things like that, [puts] is your friend !
