I think it probably makes sense to delete the existing TRANSCRIPT code
when doing this.

Does anything ever reset in_file_count?
Or if you run a bunch of test cases, will the number just keep incrementing?

Why -regexp?

Space after the "#".

Alan> +    puts -nonewline $in_file "$message"

It may be good for this code to catch errors, not sure though.
