Your observation that this is a general Tcl question is correct. The
interpreter processes the while loop in your script before it ever has
a chance to read the definition of the ConvertAndPrint procedure. Hence,
the callback procedure is undefined. Move your while loop to the end
of the script and things will work much better.
