Tom,

you can start the vtk shell all by itself, then type "source sample.tcl"  You will

have access to interactive mode through the command line of the shell once
the tcl script has finished loading.  Then you can use the listmethods function,
and either copy the output from your xterm with highlight, cut and paste, or
you may even be able to redirect the output, because the tcl shell generally
supports
csh commands.  I haven't tried redirect though, I usually cut and paste.
