How do I get the tcltk man pages (8.4) on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron
system?
I know there are man pages online, but I want them on my own system?
thanks

By installing them.

Tcl and Tk souce distibutions
contain the unix man pages inside the doc
sub-directories.

../configure tcl and tk inside the unix directory and
use the generated Makefile to install the man pages,
the install tag is: install-doc

Make sure the tcl-prefix+man directory is part your
MANPATH, default directoy is /usr/local

Or, to keep things simple, since OP seems to care about Tcl docs as
Ubuntu package (vs. installing from sources):

sudo apt-get install tcl8.4-doc tk8.4-doc

Those man pages are all in "3tcl" section, so whenever a command as a
usual name (e.g. string, gets, etc...), Tcl man page can be queried as:

man 3tcl string
