Ok Karl, sounds like Dr. Ousterhout has re-invented REXX. Possibly not
a bad thing, but in the wish list you want an "ARexx interface" so I'm
confused somewhere. Can you compare and contrast the REXX and TCL
languages, their semantics, and the ease of extending/using them in
one's applications? Since ARexx will be included in 1.4 (according to
published accounts in various magazines and on BIX) how does TCL help
the Amiga (rather than fragment what support is already building for
ARexx) ? Has Dr. Ousterhout published anything on TCL yet ? If so where ?
Lots-o-questions.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
