set - Read and write variables
<H3><A NAME="M3">SYNOPSIS</A></H3>
<B>set </B><I>varName </I>?<I>value</I>?<BR>
<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
Returns the value of variable <I>varName</I>.
If <I>value</I> is specified, then set
the value of <I>varName</I> to <I>value</I>, creating a new variable
if one doesn't already exist, and return its value.
If <I>varName</I> contains an open parenthesis and ends with a
close parenthesis, then it refers to an array element:  the characters
before the first open parenthesis are the name of the array,
and the characters between the parentheses are the index within the array.
Otherwise <I>varName</I> refers to a scalar variable.
Normally, <I>varName</I> is unqualified
(does not include the names of any containing namespaces),
and the variable of that name in the current namespace is read or written.
If <I>varName</I> includes namespace qualifiers
(in the array name if it refers to an array element),
the variable in the specified namespace is read or written.
<P>
If no procedure is active,
then <I>varName</I> refers to a namespace variable
(global variable if the current namespace is the global namespace).
If a procedure is active, then <I>varName</I> refers to a parameter
or local variable of the procedure unless the <B><A HREF="../TclCmd/global.htm">global</A></B> command
was invoked to declare <I>varName</I> to be global,
or unless a <B><A HREF="../TclCmd/variable.htm">variable</A></B> command
was invoked to declare <I>varName</I> to be a namespace variable.
