::term::send::wrch chan str

______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides the most primitive commands for sending charac-
ters to a terminal. They are in essence convenient wrappers around the
builtin command puts.
::term::send::wrch chan str
Send the text str to the channel specified by the handle chan.
In contrast to the builtin command puts this command does not
terminate the string with a line terminator. It also forces an
flush of Tcl internal and OS buffers to ensure that the charac-
ters are processed immediately.
::term::send::wr str
This convenience command is like ::term::send::wrch, except that
the destination channel is fixed to stdout.
