When is .tclshrc used

[Cecil Westerhof]

When starting with tcl I really did not like the standard prompt. So I
changed it. When searching the internet I found that I had to do
something like the following:
if {${tcl_interactive}} {
package require tclreadline

set auto_noexec 1

proc ::tclreadline::prompt1 {} {

But if I look at:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/17072

It says:
will be read by tclsh when it is started interactively.

So the if is not necessary?

I read somewhere that old tclsh also read it when it was not
interactive. So probably I can remove it.
