i've got a postscript paper entitled:

"Tcl Extensions for Network Management Applications"

by J. Schonwalder and H. Langendorfer (names familiar 8).
i don't remember exactly where i got it, perhaps the web page?
it's pretty good in that it is a concise description of scotty's
extensions. there is not a lot of example code, but it is a nice
collection of added commands.

i'm not even really sure if it gives you any info that cannot be
found in the man pages. this with the example code should overcome
the inertia... i didn't even know tcl a month ago and have managed
to construct a pretty decent little applete.

Go speed racer, adventures waiting just ahead ;)
