The Tk console text widget does not provide real standard IO capabilities.
Under Tk, when redirecting from standard input, all applications will see an
immediate end-of-file; information redirected to standard output or standard
error will be discarded.

Either forward or backward slashes are accepted as path separators for
arguments to Tcl commands. When executing an application, the path name
specified for the application may also contain forward or backward slashes
as path separators. Bear in mind, however, that most Windows applications
accept arguments with forward slashes only as option delimiters and
backslashes only in paths. Any arguments to an application that specify a
path name with forward slashes will not automatically be converted to use
the backslash character. If an argument contains forward slashes as the
path separator, it may or may not be recognized as a path name, depending on
the program.
.PP
Additionally, when calling a 16-bit DOS or Windows 3.X application, all path
names must use the short, cryptic, path format (e.g., using
.QW applba~1.def
instead of
.QW applbakery.default ),
