The sc_import script (and others in the scripts directory in the Scid source
distribution) uses tcscid. You can use them directly from the command
line in Unix, but in Windows you'd need to do something like
    tcscid.exe scripts/sc_import.tcl mydatabase newfile.pgn
instead of
    sc_import mydatabase newfile.pgn

It could be simplified with a batch file I guess.
