I am only a couple of days into tcl and XOWiki. I am trying to call a

return "$somevar"

How do you call a function?
i.e. in "set somevar test()" i want to call test...

Thank you.

set somevar [test]

You might also want to look at the Tcl Tutorial:

Yes, I had looked through that. I didn't see any sections on

function or a procedure?

Thank you.
