Yes it does!! You will have to explain that one to me, though, way
beyond my able to figure it out, but cool!

Problem is that the PHP script contains an exit() function that dies if
user does not input something upon prompting. The TCL script does not
die, it keeps going, which is not the desired effect, but hey I'm
halfway there already, thanx!!
