DESCRIPTION
This command deletes the windows given by the window arguments, plus

dows are destroyed in order, and if an error occurs in destroying a
window the command aborts without destroying the remaining windows. No
error is returned if window does not exist.

if {[winfo class $w] eq "Checkbutton"} {
destroy $w
}
}
