[vtkusers] Run VTK for the first time

[David E DeMarle]

When you run "vtk" you are running the vtk's version of the tcl 
interpretter.
To see something interesting you have to give the interpretter something 
to do.

Try running it on one of the test programs that come with the vtk 
source, like so:

vtk PATHTOYOURVTKSOURCE\Rendering\Testing\Tcl\rotations.tcl

You should see something like a cow spun around into a circle.

hope that helps
