I'm glad it's getting some attention. Thank you!
IMHO, more important than making it Linux-like is making it self-
consistent, even if it makes it more Windows-like. For example "pwd"
outputs forward slashes while "file separator" outputs backslashes.
Regardless, I trust you (CGF) to make the right choices.

BTW, I use my own version of tclsh, which uses readline for the 
command prompt. I would think a lot of tclsh users would appreciate 
that being part of the standard release. It's probably an upstream
issue, however.
