- ### This is the distribution Worksheet. It will
- ### step you through a few things to get you
- ### started.
- ###
- ### These lines that begin with the '#' character
- ### are "comments" to the tcl interpretter, so the
- ### interpretter will ignore these lines if it sees
- ### them.
- ###
- ### This window is a "tickle window" and it has one
- ### feature that normal text windows lack -- it has
- ### a tcl interpretter "attached" to it. That means
- ### that is becomes a tcl worksheet for you. In fact
- ### *any* text window that you open in Tickle is a
- ### "tickle window" and contains a tcl interpretter.
- ###
- ### To cause the tcl interpretter in your window to
- ### execute some tcl code, you simply select the text
- ### you want executed and press Enter (or Apple-Return).
- ### This will feed the code into the interpretter and
- ### paste the results of the interpretation into the
- ### window right after the selection. To see this,
- ### select text in the line after this comment and
- ### press the Enter key to see its results:
- puts stdout "Hello, this is Tickle!"
-
-
- ### Very good! You just ran a tcl script that printed
- ### a simple message. Not select the line after this
- ### comment and press Enter and get a file listing:
- ls -CF

- ### There is a great deal of online help. Each of
- ### the commands below will open a new window showing
- ### you some of this help. Remember to close these
- ### windows when you are done reading them so that you
- ### do not create too many windows!
- ###
- help help
- help tcl
- help tcl:control
- help tcl:control:for

- ### If you wish to run the standard tcl test suite
- ### (with modifications) select the next two lines
- ### press the "Enter" key.
