+\fBTcl_SourceRCFile\fR is used to source the Tcl rc file at startup.
+It is typically invoked by Tcl_Main or Tk_Main. The name of the file
+sourced is obtained from the global variable \fBtcl_rcFileName\fR in
+the interpreter given by \fIinterp\fR. If this variable is not
+defined, or if the file it indicates cannot be found, no action is
+taken.
+.PP
+On the Macintosh, after sourcing the rc file, this function will
+additionally source the TEXT resource indicated by the global variable
+\fBtcl_rcRsrcName\fR in \fIinterp\fR.
