I am stumped by this:

array set CONTROL {
	InitialStartUpDir "$env(HOME)"
}

puts $env(HOME)
/home/luc

OK.

Now,

oo::define NewTab {
	constructor {} {
		blah blah blah...
		$newtab configure -text "$::CONTROL(InitialStartUpDir)"
	}
}

The button label becomes "$env(HOME)" instead of /home/luc.

What am I doing wrong?
