# This procedure is called when a Tcl command is invoked that doesn't
# exist in the interpreter.  It takes the following steps to make the
# command available:
#
#	1. See if the autoload facility can locate the command in a
#	   Tcl script file.  If so, load it and execute it.
#	2. If the command was invoked interactively at top-level:
#	    (a) see if the command exists as an executable UNIX program.
#		If so, "exec" the command.
#	    (b) see if the command requests csh-like history substitution
#		in one of the common forms !!, !<number>, or ^old^new.  If
#		so, emulate csh's history substitution.
#	    (c) see if the command is a unique abbreviation for another
#		command.  If so, invoke the command.
#
# Arguments:
# args -	A list whose elements are the words of the original
#		command, including the command name.
