I would like to "install" some shell scripts, so that they are always available for execution (for me only), and preferably so that they can be called by simply typing their filename (plus optional parameters).
I don't want to type ./filename or something.
Put them in a new directory under your home directory - add that new directory to your path with your .profile or shell . file.

Also, I'd be interested to learn how I can make these scripts available to everyone (but otherwise as above). This would obviously mean storing them in a commonly accessible location -- again, I'd like to know where it's good practice to put them. Plus, I'd need something else than ~/.bashrc.
Hmmm, I don't use your OS but in any you will find different places that are normal for inclusion as a directory where everyone can access scripts - it just matters what we were taught - it only matters that you don't start giving access to directories that users should not be running/changing scripts in. You also don't want to put them where the OS puts things only for the fact that an upgrade may delete them. Using /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin is what we use at my company but I have also seen /opt directories created for the same purpose - as long as it's added to the environment PATH you would have no problem.

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.
