Hi,
  I should also mention that when one uses source, if there are any
syntactic errors in the code, execution will halt, whereas when you
paste code into the interpreter line-by-line (as in TkCon or when
using the "play" command) if you have an error, subsequent commands
will still be run.

Best,
  John
