Interpreted and compiled hierarchies

[Ingela Anderton <ingela@docs.uu.se>]

Hi!

I've just installed ns on my computer so I'm currently trying to figure
out how to use it. I've read the ns Notes and Documentation found on
the ns-hompage. Some questions I have are: 

If I do the following:
> ns sim.tcl 
where sim.tcl is my otcl script what happens? Is the script
interpreted or is the c++ mirror classes compiled and run?  As you may
realise I haven't relly got a grip on how the interpreted and compiled
hierarchies relate. If some one could explain this I'd be very greateful.

If I start ns and give the command ?
I get a very long string of commands and classes how do I get more
information about these? (Sure there is some information about this in
the ns Notes and Documentation, but I think the step between this
document and writing your own simulation is a bit big.)
