.SH DESCRIPTION

The \fBtclreadline\fP package makes the gnu readline available
to the scripting language tcl. The package is thought primarily
for developers, who want to use the line editing and history expansion
capabilities of the gnu readline while interactively developing
tcl scripts. tclreadline can also be used for tcl scripts
which want to use a shell like input interface. In this case the
\fB::tclreadline::read\fP command has to be called explicitly. This 
command will print a prompt and return the line which was typed
by the user.
