As soon as I have the time to learn TCL and the innards of the Macports
system (I am working on it).  Still, I hope you don't mind if I comment on
features and whatnot--if only developers can comment on these then please
say so.

By the way, if I offended somebody I do apologize, as this was not my

Unfortunately I have only one Mac OS machine, which is not permanently on
line (it is my day to day laptop).
