Basically, c, c++, perl, php, html, assembly, whatever language, like now tcl etc, can be written/edited in plain text editing software. Depends upon the editor and its formatting if you're using Windows. There are some good ones out there, mostly I select UNIX format with my tcls and c files if I am uploading them on a shell.

So use a good editor, I currently use MED Text Editor it has options in which format for OS you would want to save the file. Basically if you save it in UNIX , Windows will definately open, but not true always vice versa.

* First used to use, wordpad myself.

I guess. Just seems strange to me that someone that has worked in a programming environment for 3 years wouldnt know about notepad/wordpad is all

If you have done 3 years of vb and mirc scripting how come you didn't know how to open a script with notepad or what alternate program to use when it was screwed up? just seems odd to me. Go here if you want a good guide into tcl scripting. Click Me

no, it's not odd

VB and mIRC scripting are Windows-based, and working solely on Windows, you are not aware that Notepad treats LF differently than CR+LF, whereas Wordpad treats it uniformly, since all your plain text documents have CR+LF linebreaks

thats caused by *nix linebreaks, just use wordpad instead.

they are normal text files, so notepad/wordpad will do.

im fairly sure i can figure out the programming i downloaded the latest version of the eggdrop bot, however im not sure how to view the scripts, do you need to open them in a special program?

depends on what kind of scripts you want to convert ^-^. In any case visiting the TCL archive to see if there is already a script that satisfies your needs is never a bad idea. If scripts look similar to what you want you might give it a try to change them to do what you want. If you understand basic condition, string, loop, list and variable expressions, you should be able to change most scripts behavior to your favor.

if you bother to read the manual, many of us will help you. if not... you might get a hard time to find help . a good start is the TCL FAQ and the TCL-Commands.doc. you will need "bind pub" for your !cmds bindings in tcl and putserv/puthelp to send feedbacks in RAW mode to the server.
