Does it HAVE TO BE the console? Or do you just want a tcl "command
line"?
For a command line, I usually use the following for debugging:

pack [text .con -yscrollcommand {.con.s set}] -fill both
pack [scrollbar .con.s -command {.con yview}] -fill y -side right
..con insert end ">"

bind .con <Key-Return> {
set command [.con get "end -1 lines" "end -1 char"]
set command [string trimleft $command "> "]
.con insert end [eval $command]
}

bind .con <KeyRelease-Return> {
.con insert end ">"
.con yview moveto 1
}

Of course, it can be more sophisticated such as displaying error
messages with bgerror and preventing you from deleting the prompt ">".
The above is just a simple stripped-down example.
