Can you be a little more specific about what you're trying to do? What makes you think the problem is the redirection of stdout? You mention redirection from the XQuartz menu and Finder, but your statement doesn't have any redirection, and I'm not sure what you're doing with Finder.
Is the problem actually that isatty() is false? This sounds more like a bug in xprompt.tcl. --Jeremy On Oct 30, 2012, at 11:10 PM, Daniel Cote <dwc...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I'm running Mac OS X Mountain Lion Version 10.8.2 on a mac mini intel based. > When I run my tcl script from an xterm command line it works fine but when I > run it from the finder or the Xquartz menu it does't work.
