How does this look thus far:
It's progressing, but still has some definite problems.
1) Are you using some kind of non-text editor? Your "double quote" marks come out strange in the code you did such a great job posting. It's a little confusing with those odd "double quote" characters, but there may be problem with not enough or too many of those things.
2) Think about what Don Cragun said before, and it will help explain one reason why it is not currently working:
Quote:
put everything in the loop that you want to be
repeated until the user selects choice 5.
Do you know what a loop is? If not, go back and review the post by Corona688, and move your code around to put "everything you want repeated until choice 5 selected" inside the loop.

continue(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands continue(3tcl)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop
SYNOPSIS
continue
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code,
which causes a continue exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop
command, which then continues with the next iteration of the loop. Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as
the catch command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.
EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 10 except 5:
for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
if {$x == 5} {
continue
}
puts "x is $x"
}
