sourced is obtained from the global variable \fBtcl_rcFileName\fR in
the interpreter given by \fIinterp\fR.  If this variable is not
defined, or if the file it indicates cannot be found, no action is
taken.
.PP
On the Macintosh, after sourcing the rc file, this function will
additionally source the TEXT resource indicated by the global variable
\fBtcl_rcRsrcName\fR in \fIinterp\fR.
