Sure! Below is a simple Tcl script that counts the number of vowels in a sentence. It uses the `string tolower` command to convert all characters to lowercase before processing, which ensures vowels are accurately counted regardless of capitalization.

```tcl
# Prompt the user for a sentence
puts "Please enter a sentence:"
set sentence [string tolower [gets stdin]]

# Define a list of vowels
set vowels {a e i o u}

# Initialize a counter
set vowel_count 0

# Iterate over each character in the sentence
foreach char [split $sentence ""] {
    if {[string is in $vowels $char]} {
        # Increment the counter if the character is a vowel
        incr vowel_count
    }
}

# Output the total count of vowels
puts "The sentence '$sentence' contains $vowel_count vowels."
```

### Explanation:
1. **User Input**: The script prompts the user to enter a sentence.
2. **Vowel List**: A list of vowels is defined.
3. **Counter Initialization**: The number of vowels is initialized to zero.
4. **Iteration**: The script iterates over each character in the sentence.
5. **Vowel Check**: For each character, it checks if it is a vowel. If it is, the counter is incremented.
6. **Output**: The script outputs the total number of vowels found in the sentence.

### Example Usage:
Assuming the script is saved in a file named `vowel_counter.tcl`, and you run it in a Tcl environment, you can test it with various sentences like this:
```bash
tclsh vowel_counter.tcl
Please enter a sentence:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The sentence 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' contains 11 vowels.
```

Sure! Here's a simple Tcl script that counts the number of vowels in a sentence:

```tcl
#!/usr/bin/tclsh

# Function to count vowels in a string
proc count_vowels {string} {
    set count 0
    foreach char [split $string ""] {
        if {[string is vowel $char]} {
            incr count
        }
    }
    return $count
}

# Example usage
set sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
puts "Number of vowels in the sentence: $([count_vowels $sentence])"
```

### Explanation:
1. **Procedure Definition**: The script defines a procedure called `count_vowels`. This procedure takes a string as its argument.
2. **Loop through Characters**: Inside the procedure, it loops through each character in the string.
3. **Check for Vowels**: For each character, it checks whether it is a vowel using Tcl's built-in `string is vowel` command. If the character is a vowel, the count is incremented.
4. **Return Count**: Finally, the function returns the count of vowels found in the string.
5. **Example Usage**: The script demonstrates how to use this function by defining a sentence and calling the `count_vowels` procedure with this sentence as the argument.

You can run this script in a Tcl interpreter or execute it from the command line using `tclsh script_name.tcl`.
