Yes, TCL uses generally shared values with referent count. And each item is reference counted. And with TCL 9, even sublists are reference counted, e.g. stored only once. That means: set d [dict create a [string repeat a 100000]] -> d and a are reference counted. dict set d b [dict get $d a] does not copy the string, but reference it twice. A copy of the data is only done, if the data gets different: dict set d b "[dict get $d b]q" Now, dict item a and b are differently and thus b is copied. Anyway, it is endlessly complicated... Harald
