+Controls whether frame-level stack information is captured in the
+slave interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR.  If no arguments are
+given, option and current setting are returned.  If \fI\-frame\fR
+is given, the debug setting is set to the given boolean if provided

 It should be noted that relying on an existing and empty environment variable

+The following elements of \fBenv\fR are special to Tcl:
+.TP
+\fBenv(HOME)\fR
+.
+This environment variable, if set, gives the location of the directory
+considered to be the current user's home directory, and to which a
+call of \fBcd\fR without arguments or with just
+.QW ~
+as an argument will change into. Most platforms set this correctly by
+default; it does not normally need to be set by user code.
+.TP
+\fBenv(TCL_LIBRARY)\fR
+.
+If set, then it specifies the location of the directory containing
+library scripts (the value of this variable will be
+assigned to the \fBtcl_library\fR variable and therefore returned by
+the command \fBinfo library\fR).  If this variable is not set then
+a default value is used.

+\fBenv(TCLLIBPATH)\fR

+If set, then it must contain a valid Tcl list giving directories to
+search during auto-load operations.  Directories must be specified in 
+Tcl format, using
+.QW /

+This variable is only used when initializing the \fBauto_path\fR variable.
