I have tclsh already on my machine here at work (Linux) so I don't have
to install it.

I read the man pages for tcltest but it's beyond me, sorry. I don't
know how to download it, where to find it (yes did a Google search,
didn't help whatsoever for me), what to do, etc.

I need a "3rd grade" step-by-step instruction to what to do.
