Re: brand new to tcl; newbie question

ok, I'll try to do a little better in phrasing my questions.

If the proc is named test, such as below:
---------------------------------------------------------------
proc test {} {
return "text to display"
}
proc content {} {
set somevar [test]
return "$somevar"
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
I get:

invalid command name "test"
while executing
"test"
(procedure "content" line 3)
::19493::payload->content
invoked from within
"[self]::payload content"
(snipped)

If I change the name of the proc to something else, like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------
proc myproc {} {
return "text to display"
}


proc content {} {
set somevar [myproc]

return "$somevar"

}
--------------------------------------------------------------
I get this:
::19493::payload

I hope I am being more clear.
