Hello...

I'm having problems getting the "tcltk" package to run
within a recently installed version of R  (R1.10 for Windows95).
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
        TCL_LIBRARY is not set
Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed
Having little experience with R, I apologize for the
simplicity of this question.

I would bet that TCL_LIBRARY is not set as the error suggest. That is it's
not set in your environnement. Just set it to the proper value drive:\path
and you should be in bussness.

Optional support for the Tcl/Tk interface.  To use this you need to
   install tcl831.exe from dev.scriptics.com, and you will need the Tcl
   and Tk dlls in your path.  Also, you need to set the environment
   variable TCL_LIBRARY, to something like c:/Program Files/Tcl/lib/tcl8.3.
   The demos(tk*) will work on Windows.


How you set environment variables is Windows-system-specific, but you can
set this on the command line or in a .Renviron file on any Windows system.
