+======Synopsis:======
+[[tcl_command|tcl]] {//tcl statement//}
+======Purpose:======
+If the client was linked with an embedded tcl interpreter, the //tcl statement//
+shall be executed by tcl.  If the client was not linked against tcl, then no
+action shall take place.
+Although every //tcl statement// resolves to a (tcl) value, that
+value is discarded when you run it this way.
+If the //tcl statement// has an error, the result is undefined, but usually
+an error message is output to the window.
+Remember that the insides of {}s are protected from ircII expansion, so if
+you want to pass ircII values into your tcl script, you do best to export
+the value to tcl using $[[tcl function]]() first.  The insides of the {}
+should be a literal segment of tcl code.
+You can call back to EPIC from tcl with these commands:
+|[epic cmd string]  | Run //string// as a [[block]] without $ expansion. |
+|[epic eval string] | Run //string// as a [[block]] with $ expansion.  The value of $* is the empty string |
+|[epic expr string] | Evalulate //string// as an expression, and return the result. |
+|[epic call string] | Call //string// where //string// looks like "func(args)", returning the result.  The value of $* is the empty string. |
+|[echo ...]         | Output something through the client. |
+|[tkon]             | Turn on the Tk system.  You must call this before calling any Tk commands.  |
+======Examples:======
+Someone want to give me some examples?
+======History:======
+The [[tcl command]] first appeared in EPIC4-1.1.8
