* The problem:
I want an existent tcl/tk program to get a default value for the MANPATH
environment variable when it is called even when the environment does not
define it, and without changing the env. Further more, I rather prefix the
program code then write a wrapper script.
* My suggestion:
To prefix the existent program with the lines:
if {![info exists env(MANPATH)] || [string equal [string trim $env(MANPATH)]
""]} {
set env(MANPATH) [ exec /usr/bin/manpath ];}
* The question:
Is this a reasonable || good || bad solution?
* Reason for asking:
I am new to tcl.
