'''abs''' is one of several extended math commands available in [Tclx].  It makes the [expr] abs function available as a command, and takes expressions as arguments. ([Tcl 8.5] has its own copy that it puts in the ::tcl::mathfunc [namespace].)

If you don't have that, it can easily be emulated:

 proc abs x {expr {abs($x)}}
