I have a package containing a file call foo.tcl, which contains a whole bunch of Tcl procedures I'm working on. I start a tkcon, package require mypackage, do my thing, then go back to my editor for further work on foo.tcl. Then I run 'make install' to get the latest foo.tcl into place.

Then, I need to exit tkcon and restart it, and package require again to get the latest Tcl code into the interpreter. Is there a way I can unload foo.tcl and reload it from disk without restarting the interpreter?

Have you tried using "package forget"?
