send_message isnt a tcl command, it is a function included in a quartus package i believe
--dalon

Thanks for your reply. I got send_message from the command list at the end of chapter 5 in vol 1 of the Quartus handbook. Though I've not tried them all, other commands from that list seem to give the same error message.
The impression I get from the handbook is that I can just call those commands directly in my script. Perhaps I need to 'include' something (if tcl scripting has such a concept) before they will work?
Thanks,
Richard.
