tclsh 8.6

[Philip Aker-3]

Using the tclsh created from the Tcl 8.6 source, if I type

% parray tcl_platform

I see:

tcl_platform(pathSeparator) = :

I'm wondering why it isn't a slash.

I see it set in tclUnixInit.c in the TclpSetVariables() function:

Tcl_SetVar2( interp, "tcl_platform", "pathSeparator", ":",  
TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY );

echo $PATH holds the clue

I see and thanks. Where is it defined on Mac OS X? I don't see it near  
_CS_PATH.

Due to a Mac heritage and AppleScript, I find it ambiguously named  
because the environment variable is (as you've shown) "PATH" not  
"path". Therefore I think it should be named something like:

        tcl_platform( envPATHSeparator)

but would guess it's a fait accompli and will never change.
