  <refsection><title>Description</title>
    <para>This routine allows to evaluate Tcl/Tk instructions with the Tcl/Tk
    interpreter launched with Scilab (when the <literal>interp</literal> parameter
    is not given), or in a slave interpreter.</para>

    <para>When Tcl/Tk support is enabled in Scilab, you can evaluate Tcl/Tk
    expression from Scilab interpreter. In fact, Scilab launches a main Tcl/Tk
    interpreter. The Scilab instruction <literal>TCL_EvalStr</literal> can be used
    to evaluate expressions without having to write Tcl/Tk instructions in a
    separated file (this capability is provided by
    <literal>TCL_EvalFile</literal>).</para>
