Yes, they are synonyms. IBM uses the term "microcode" for all sorts of what is commonly known as firmware, for reasons unknown. It is similar to Sun using the term "disk slices" for what is commonly called partitions, etc..
I hope this helps.

term_send
term::send(3tcl) Terminal control term::send(3tcl)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
term::send - General output to terminals
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require term::send ?0.1?
::term::send::wrch chan str
::term::send::wr str
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides the most primitive commands for sending characters to a terminal. They are in essence convenient wrappers around the
builtin command puts.
::term::send::wrch chan str
Send the text str to the channel specified by the handle chan. In contrast to the builtin command puts this command does not termi-
nate the string with a line terminator. It also forces an flush of Tcl internal and OS buffers to ensure that the characters are
processed immediately.
::term::send::wr str
This convenience command is like ::term::send::wrch, except that the destination channel is fixed to stdout.
