Re: tcl command "type"

Alan
i have utilized the puts proposition but i just wondered if there
was a dumping possibility.
As far as Bryan's code it just opens a file i agree with you.
The solution of Bryan by the catch test if also a good one.
Let me thank both of you for your friendly concern and since
it is now, here, 20 min after 1 o'clok on sonday 1rst 2006 my best
wishes for both of you for 2006.
friendly
