Hmm, yeah, sorry, got nabbed by a Tcl gotcha. This is how I learned that a variable named "args" has special meaning in Tcl. So it was sticking in {} to quote things...

I mean if I exec pd from Tcl with more arguments than just "-guiport 5600", I get the output of -help and then pd quits. so say like this:
exec -- $pd_exec -stderr -guiport $portnumber &

Hmm, over here it does this:
[msp@slash src]$ pd -guiport 5600 connecting stream socket: Connection refused (111) [msp@slash src]$
This seems correct, since there wasn't anybody listening on port 5600. cheers Miller

So I have startup in both directions working, ('pd.tk' starts 'pd', and 'pd' starts 'pd.tk'). This means you can choose which wish shell to use on any platform, and it'll use that one. Here's how:
wish /path/to/pd.tk
This means you can easily use any 'wish' and run Pd with it. It also makes it possible on Mac OS X to run pd in the Pd.app Aqua GUI, or run it in the wish X11 GUI. Hopefully it makes the code cleaner too, much fewer #ifdefs.
Now I have a question: it seems that if I start 'pd' with -guiport, then it seems to ignore any other command line arguments and dumps the '-help' text. Any reason why it shouldn't be possible to use - guiport with all the rest of the options? Anyone know how to do this? :D
