It may be UNIX convention, but it's not TCL.  Expect is a TCL 
extension.  In TCL the name of the program is not part of the 
argv list but is placed into a variable called argv0 instead.

You might also try 'expect "assword:"' instead of 'expect 
"*password:"'.  I've not seen the asterisk used in the expect
examples I've seen.  Also "assword:" should match both password
and Password, regardless of case.  But if this change still 
doesn't fix the problem, I don't know what else to suggest. 
Tom Poindexter's our resident TCL guru, hopefully he's following
the thread and will have something better to offer you.
