DESCRIPTION
       Tcl_SourceRCFile  is  used to source the Tcl rc file at startup.  It is typically invoked by Tcl_Main
       or Tk_Main.  The name of the file sourced is obtained from the global variable tcl_rcFileName in  the
       interpreter  given by interp.  If this variable is not defined, or if the file it indicates cannot be
       found, no action is taken.

       On the Macintosh, after sourcing the rc  file,  this  function  will  additionally  source  the  TEXT
       resource indicated by the global variable tcl_rcRsrcName in interp.
