+\fBTcl_Init\fR is a helper procedure that finds and \fBsource\fR's the
+\fBinit.tcl\fR script, which should exist somewhere on the Tcl library
+path. On Macintosh systems, it additionally checks for an \fBInit\fR
+resource and sources the contents of that resource if \fBinit.tcl\fR
+cannot be found.

+\fBTcl_Init\fR is typically called from \fBTcl_AppInit\fR procedures.
