Hi According to module(1), modulecmd will source Module RC files, e.g. $MODULESHOME/etc/rc, $MODULERCFILE, or ~/.modulerc, if exists, prior to loading the modulefile of the given application/software. I have some Tcl variables and procedures defined in Module RC files, but when I tried to access the Tcl variables or the procedures in the application modulefiles, modulecmd complained they were not defined. It seems to me that the lifespan/scope for Tcl variable and procedure is per file, instead of per modulecmd invocation. This practically limits the usefulness of the Module RC files. Is this the intended feature of modulecmd, or does such feature just haven't been enhanced to modulecmd? I don't know much about programming Tcl-based application in C to understand the source codes if this is the limitation of Tcl library or it is just lack of such feature in the current release of Modules. FYI, I'm using Modules 3.1.5 with Tcl 8.3.3 and both tcsh 6.11 and bash 2.05 shells. Thanks.
