Optimus_P - My question doesn't relate to any single command. I gave the sample only for clarification. I don't want to create an alias for each & every command that I might ever need in reference to the question. That would be way too much work (& require too much forsight) for a newbie like me! I was hoping that if I could get this question answered then this method would be simpler & less time consuming in the long run. I do love aliases though!
Kelum_Magnus - For better or worse C shell is where I'm at. My knowledge is minimal, so I'd rather figure out how to make my existing shell work for me than change it altogether. Again, this seems like a LOT of work to avoid this 1 circumstance. Generally I have been very pleased with the C shell. In fact, this is my 1st time being truly stuck trying to accomplish something in it.
So using the example I gave previously, can someone please show me the command I should be entering? Was I even close with my attempt? I know that this can be done, I just don't know how.
Thanks for your input guys. I do appreciate the insight of seasoned users.

platform::shell
platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?
platform::shell::generic shell
platform::shell::identify shell
platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.
This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.
While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell
this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.
For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed
packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.
COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell
This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::generic shell
This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::platform shell
This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
