Kevan,

When I want to do what you are describing, I type "wish" in
Terminal.app. This launches an instance of the Wish application, and
returns a prompt ("%"). I would then type "source test.tcl," which would
run the script, print "hello" to stdout, and then return me to the
prompt. Then I could continue, as you are suggesting, typing in
additional commands.

When you run a script as you were doing ("wish test.tcl"), it simply
executes the commands defined in the script and exits. This is true
whether Wish is run under Aqua or X11.
