Author What widget do I need?

I need a widet that allows the user to click on a right side arrow to select
from a drop down box containing lines of text and, if none of them are what
he wants, to enter a new line. I can't find such a widget in the standard
Tk distribution. Does one exist?

No. However Rob Seegel made Tk::JComboBox:

The documentation I read does not say that you may type in
values not in the list. Has that feature been added?

You are correct. The pod says:

-state
Specifies one of three states for the widget: normal, readonly,
or disabled. If the widget is disabled then the value may not be
changed and the arrow button won't activate. If the widget is
readonly, the entry may not be edited, but it may be changed by
choosing a value from the popup listbox. normal is the default.
