It looks like the only way to reliably do what I was trying to do is
to learn the Threads extension of TCL.

May I propose a better way? Learn how to work *with* the event loop
rather than fighting it. Start small. Try doing one thing, and post
here your solution. If feedback from some of the more experienced folk
here is positive, add one more thing, post here, repeat.

Based on the code you posted already, it's likely that feedback will
take the form of constructive suggestions on what to change in order to
make it work better. For example, I can think of no good reason *ever*
to write an infinite loop in an interactive Tcl application. I think
you might find that there is a teeny bit of misunderstanding on your
part regarding the "proper" way to do event-driven programming.
