It may want to be talking to a "terminal" -- try using expect extension.

$file is just the name of the file with no embedded spaces. So both

eval exec tf [list history /noprompt $file]

and

exec tf history /noprompt $file

give the same result. I've tried this in a cygwin window, a DOS window
and a Tk console and the output is always truncated. Thanks for the
suggestions.
