tilak - dot on forehead



Hi.

My name is Steve Smith.  I was chatting with a few friends via U'NI net and the subject of tilak came up.  We were wondering 
what the meaning of it was and what it's origin iss?  The uusual sources (dictionary - encyclopedia) say its a dot on the 
forehead, but don't explain the "why" of it.

Hope you can satisfy my curiosity, or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
