***That*** does indeed work!  Thanks.  But it's still mysterious,  
isn't it?
The invocation ``#!/usr/bin/tclsh'' is recognized but ``#!/usr/bin/ 
wish'' seems
to be ignored.  Both ``tclsh'' and ``wish'' are executables in /usr/bin.
(Actually they are both symbolic links to tclsh8.4 and wish8.4  
respectively.)

Anyway --- I've got *something* working, and that is a Good Thing.

Thanks again.

	cheers,
