.SH NAME
send \- Execute a command in a different interpreter
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBsend \fIinterp cmd \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.BE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This command arranges for \fIcmd\fR (and \fIarg\fRs) to be executed in the
interpreter named by \fIinterp\fR.  It returns the result or
error from that command execution.  \fIInterp\fR must be the
name of an interpreter registered on the display associated with
the interpreter in which the command is invoked;  it need not
be within the same process or application.  If no \fIarg\fR
arguments are present, then the command to be executed is
contained entirely within the \fIcmd\fR argument.  If one or
more \fIarg\fRs are present, they are concatenated to form the
command to be executed, just as for the \fBeval\fR Tcl command.

.SH KEYWORDS
interpreter, remote execution, send
