+.SH NAME
+source \- Evaluate a file or resource as a Tcl script
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBsource \fIfileName\fR
+.sp
+\fBsource\fR \fB\-rsrc \fIresourceName \fR?\fIfileName\fR?
+.sp
+\fBsource\fR \fB\-rsrcid \fIresourceId \fR?\fIfileName\fR?
+.BE

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command takes the contents of the specified file or resource
+and passes it to the Tcl interpreter as a text script.  The return
+value from \fBsource\fR is the return value of the last command
+executed in the script.  If an error occurs in evaluating the contents
+of the script then the \fBsource\fR command will return that error.
+If a \fBreturn\fR command is invoked from within the script then the
+remainder of the file will be skipped and the \fBsource\fR command
+will return normally with the result from the \fBreturn\fR command.
+
+The \fI\-rsrc\fR and \fI\-rsrcid\fR forms of this command are only
+available on Macintosh computers.  These versions of the command
+allow you to source a script from a \fBTEXT\fR resource.  You may specify
+what \fBTEXT\fR resource to source by either name or id.  By default Tcl
+searches all open resource files, which include the current
+application and any loaded C extensions.  Alternatively, you may
+specify the \fIfileName\fR where the \fBTEXT\fR resource can be found.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+file, script
