Me too. I got tired of dinking around with HyperTerminal...
I'm not sure at all about an NT installation, so I'm hoping some others
will step in here...

No, If you unzip the distribution, there should be a .lnk file which
shows up as a shortcut file. Right click on it and edit the program target
and startup directories to where you actually unzipped everything to.
Make sure it looks something like:
c:/some/silly/path/rcxtk.tcl
Then double click the short cut. If you have installed the Tcl self-extracting
binaries, it should launch the Tcl shell automagically.

Once the dust settles here, I plan on a simple GUI for he Palm that
does exactly what the Tcl thing does on your desktop.
Please feed any bits of info on the NT installation to the
group. I did a quick google serch and came up with a few sites that had
giveio. I'm not even sure if it's needed. Please check out the FAQ at
Scriptics for more info on running Tcl under NT...
