Activating auto-completion in tcl

How can I add auto-completion of commands and directories on pressing <TAB> in TCL shell ?

I know that a tclreadline package can be downloaded, but I have no clue how to use it and integrate it in my tcl shell.

You can look also on tkcon. I found it very user friendly. In addition you can work with this tool "just from the box" without additional configurations.

You will find what you need at the TclReadline site. They suggest putting the following in your ~/.tclshrc file:

if {$tcl_interactive} {
    package require tclreadline 
    ::tclreadline::Loop
}

I also added the following prompt to remind me I am using Tcl Readline:

proc ::tclreadline::prompt1 {} { return "%% " }
