When [tclsh] is invoked interactively, it normally prompts for each
command with '''% '''.  You can change the prompt by setting the Tcl global
variables ''tcl_prompt1'' and [tcl_prompt2].  If variable '''tcl_prompt1'''
exists, then it must consist of a Tcl script to output a prompt;
instead of outputting the '''% ''' prompt, tclsh will evaluate the script in
tcl_prompt1.

If you have a useful example of a tcl_prompt1 script, perhaps you might consider sharing it with us?
