I've not worked with StoryServer yet, so I can't comment on any limitations that it might impose. But Tcl has no problem with recursive procedures. Tcl does have a built-in limit on the depth of recursion (to help prevent infinite loops from attempting to allocate all your memory), but it's rarely an issue in reasonable programs. I just put together a test case with a recursive procedure that used a couple of local variables with integer values. It ran to 685 levels of recursion before giving the error message:
That's enough stack levels for most programs... - Ken Jones, President
