Have a look at <URL:http://mini.net/tcl/3005.html> and let us know if
that helps.

You need to set tcl_prompt1 to what ever string you want to display as the prompt. You can do this in the startup ".tclshrc".

Example tcl_prompt1:

set tcl_prompt1 {puts "[info hostname]:[pwd]>"}

You do realize you replied to a post that was more than 14 years old?

I highly doubt the OP is anxiously scanning the news group for an answer.

Not surprising considering the source:

Injection-Info: glegroupsg2000goo.googlegroups.com;

For some reason google groups users seem to not notice article posting dates.

Yes. Or maybe that's just due to the fact that they found the article by Search. It already happened back in the days of DejaNews, but at that time you needed an NNTP client to reply. Today the search lands them on a GG page with a conspicuous Reply button. Why bother about time ;-)

Since the threads are archived and searched, providing an
answer is always useful. (Asking for clarification would
not be.)

notice) both on the same folder as ".emacs" is
(<username>\<something>\Roaming or whatever, I am not on Windows at
home, only at work) nor from within ".emacs.d"

I earlier made the experience that under Windows subshells like tclsh
sometimes have the idea that they are not running on a terminal (aka
pty), so they display no prompt. Unfortunately I can't find any hint on
that in my startup elisp...

Where tclsh looks for it: $::env(HOME).

Since this zombie thread has arisen from the grave, let me just insert the note that most of the 'lost prompt' problems arise from having stdin/stdout not be the terminal (often, they're pipes of some sort). The decision can be overridden by doing

set ::tcl_interactive 1

Tcl's (or tclsh's) global variable "tcl_interactive" is writable and
changes the behaviour.

Using
set tcl_interactive 1

in the .tclshrc will cause tclsh to do prompting even if it thinks
that it is not run within a proper terminal.

I often had to do that when running tclsh in an MSYS terminal+bash.
