I think TCL is overkill for such a simple task.  I would prefer either
to rehack Thomas' automore (if this is what we need) or to maybe
start another one with a very simple shell language.  I think
the Andrew shell is quite a good starting point.  It's small,
it's free, it's stable and if we throw away all unnecessary
code (job control, pipes) we almost have what we need.

But this is just a proposal.  I won't have the time to write such
a thing.  So this is up to the one who does the work.

Ciao

Guido
