The way the OP wants to call the script is how Tcl and other scripting
languages recommend doing it. This avoids having to hard code the tcl
path in the script - for example, if a preferred and newer version of
tcl was in /usr/local/bin, the OPs preferred method would find that over
an older version in /usr/bin/tcl. Essentially, it is a way of avoiding
explicit paths to interpreters in the script, makinig it more portable
and giving greater flexibility.
