Its odd if you come from a language like C,C++ or Pascal, Java, it gets 
more natural and easy if you come from the LISP side. Its lack of syntax 
makes it hard to learn for folks coming from C,C++ or Java, but it has 
very clear and abstract rules...

Is your tcl simplesearch in CVS? I could take a look at it and try to 
smooth the Tcl usage, if you want.
