Hmm.. Shouldn't "tclsh" be standard in that environment?

I downloaded and compiled tcl on my work machine (even though we use Tcl
extensively and already have several copies of tclsh installed) and intalled
it on my user account. Took all of 30 seconds of configuration to tell it to
install to my home directory, instead of the system directory..

../configure --prefix=/home/mydir/apps
make
make install
