You can modify the ombinit.tcl file so that OMBPlus automatically loads a file with custom procs. Just put "source <your tcl proc file>" at the bottom of the file.
For instance, I created these "connect" and "disconnect" procs to make it easier to move between repositories.
proc connect {repository} {
  set username <your username>
  set password <your password>
  set hostname <your host>
  set tnsname <your db>
  set port 1521
  set repository [string toupper ${repository}]
  OMBCONNECT $username/$password@$hostname:$port:$tnsname USE REPOS '$repository'
  global CURRENT_REPOSITORY
  set CURRENT_REPOSITORY $repository
  puts "Connected to ${repository}."
proc disconnect {} {
  OMBDISCONNECT
  global CURRENT_REPOSITORY
  puts "Disconnected from ${CURRENT_REPOSITORY}."
  unset CURRENT_REPOSITORY
}Now, when I connect, it sets up a global variable called $CURRENT_REPOSITORY that I use in other procs (mainly when creating a snapshot or exporting to MDL).
The scripting SDK is a good place to go for more help....
