    Consecutive colons or consecutive semicolons?

    If the former, can you give us an example?

    like when you are creating a class in Tcl, you type:
    tcl::class <class_name>

    Hi.

    See wjduquette.com: Will's Guide To Success with Tcl 8.x Namespaces and Packages

    It may be of some use to you to obtain a book on tcl/tk and read over some on-line references such as The Tcler's Wiki

    I hope you have a good time with tcl/tk ... cheers, drl
