Tcl can load encoding data files from the file system that describe
-additional encodings for it to work with. This command
-sets the search path for \fB*.enc\fR encoding data files to
-the list of directories \fIdirectoryList\fR. If
-\fIdirectoryList\fR is omitted then the command returns the
-current list of directories that make up the search path.
-If \fIdirectoryList\fR is present, but is not a valid Tcl
-list, an error is raised. Any elements in \fIdirectoryList\fR
-that are not in fact readable directories in the filesystem are ignored
-without raising an error when searches for encoding data files
