Sorry log gone, already uninstalled TDK 4.1 and reinstalled TDK 4.04 due
to the default working directory being different then that of previous
versions.

My home machine running XP Pro SP2, Intel DC2D

Yes, many times-many versions.  My current version is 8.4.18.  I have
actually upgraded ActiveTcl 3-4 times (uninstalling then installing)
since 1/1/07.

Mmm ok.

I just found out there is a new ActiveTcl 8.4.19 available.  I will
install that this week.
Thank you, Mike...
