Version 8 of tcl_interactive

Updated 2004-03-24 20:47:37

This variable identifies whether or not the tcl interpreter is operating in interactive mode or not. If its value is 1 , then the interpreter acts as if it were an interactive interpreter. See tclsh for a list of the differences between interactive and non-interactive mode.

Ro You can shorten commands in interactive mode, e.g.: "inf" for "info". - RS Yup - and this is especially delightful on a PocketPC where less stylus-tapping is better. If the abbreviation is unambiguous, like ll for llength, it saves time and screen space; if it is ambiguous (e.g. 'l'), it is another introspection helper - the educational error message shows you the possible completions, just as [info command l*] would have done. Funny though, in my sandbox on W95/Tcl 8.4.5 it doesn't work :(
