Ah, I see. Like this, right?
label $base.lab18 \
-background gray85 -borderwidth 1 -relief raised -text Linux \
-textvariable tcl_platform(os)
I just ran this on a Solaris platform and the button comes up saying
SunOS, like it should. The -textvariable immediately overrides the -text
so you never see Linux.
You can test this by manually changing Linux to something else and running
the app. It should come up with Linux again.
So, in this case it sems OK to me, but there could be a case where this is
a problem.
