You need explicitly to load the extension package into the Tcl =
interpreter,
in order to make the interpreter aware of the newly available commands.
This is usually done by writing:

package require Tclapplescript

before invoking the AppleScript commands.  The tclsh will either =
(hopefully)
respond with the version number of the extension package, e.g. "1.0", or
(sadly) will complain that it "can't find package Tclapplescript".

I hope this helps.

Subject: [MACTCL] Running an extension?


I'm completely new at this, so please forgive my ignorant question.=20
I've searched around a bit without any success, so I thought I'd post=20
to the mailing list:

I downloaded the standard release (not batteries-included) of TclTkAqua=20
8.4.9 on my machine with Mac OS 10.3.6. Then I downloaded the=20
TclAppleScript extension=20
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclapplescript) and installed it to=20
~/Library/Tcl

Now I'm running `tclsh` in the Terminal and trying to run one of the=20
"AppleScript" commands, but none of them work. If I try performing, for=20
example, "AppleScript run myScript", I get an "invalid command name"=20
error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Ryan Govostes
