Hi,

as you say env is an array in tcl, that means it should be the varName. I
also think the values should look something like "x y". Try this, I guess
I should work
set env(VMDSCRPOS) "100 10"

the env array is suppose to store all environment variables of the shell,
so using 'setenv' in the shell should also work.
setenv VMDSCRPOS "100 10"

I missed your original question, but it seems you are trying to customize
your windows. Did you see the .vmdrc examples in the VMD manual:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node192.html
(almost at the end)

Good luck,

Luis Gracia
