The quick and dirty answer:

[tt]eval button .exit $list[/tt]

The eval command concatenates all of its arguments, exactly like the Tcl concat command, and then executes the result. But be aware that there are dangers lurking in eval for the uncautious. Check out my response in thread287-727277, "exec can't find files," where I explain eval a bit more, and provide some very useful links for avoiding some of the traps and pitfalls of eval.
