Documentation for Capture Tcl/Tk Extensions

Is there any other documentation than "OrCAD_Capture_TclTk_Extensions.pdf" for the commands in OrCAD Capture?

A list of command doesn't help if you don't know what the command exactly do.

    You can get some idea of how things work from within that document and the provided examples in the "tclscripts" directory. The majority of the examples are provided as "plain text" specifically for the purposes of providing some illustration of how the functions are intended to be used in "real" applications. The name of the functions are a guide to the action provided by the function, the required parameters and the returned object type. Most of the effort in creating tcl applications revolves around conversion between the native "string" type that tcl uses and the "CString" type that the Capture functions require.
