Either this:

set s1 [Stack new]

or

set s1 [Stack s1]

The first version gives you an automatically named object, which is  
probably what you usually want to do. You can also explicitly name  
objects with the latter version (something you cannot do with Java  
and stuff). Mostly you wont need to do this, but there are situations  
when it's useful.
