Yes, I had looked through that. I didn't see any sections on
functions. BTW, what is the proper term for a "proc"? Is it a
function or a procedure?

It's a command. Everything is a command.

The subset of commands created by the [proc] command are procedures,
or procs, if you like.

In Tcl's vocabulary, "function" refers only to things like the atan()
function in this expression:

set pi [expr {4*atan(1)}]
