DESCRIPTION

Interp
    The Interp constructor takes no arguments and creates and initializes an instance of the Interp class. Built-in Tcl commands are created, and global variables are initialized.

dispose
    The dispose method frees all resources used by the interpreter. Because references to the interpreter may be stored in global hashtables, the Java garbage collector cannot be relied upon to automatically free resources used by the interpreter. This method must be called when an interpreter is no longer in use. The dispose method can safely be called multiple times. However, after the dispose method is invoked, the interpreter is no longer in a useable state and none of its other methods should be called.
