I'm glad it's getting some attention. Thank you! IMHO, more important than making it Linux-like is making it self- consistent, even if it makes it more Windows-like. For example "pwd" outputs forward slashes while "file separator" outputs backslashes. Regardless, I trust you (CGF) to make the right choices. BTW, I use my own version of tclsh, which uses readline for the command prompt. I would think a lot of tclsh users would appreciate that being part of the standard release. It's probably an upstream issue, however. --Ken Nellis
