Guile -- Gnu Scheme

Guile runs version of Scheme close to that described in the book

Running a scheme interpreter in a command line window

 		guile

If you want to edit your input using arrow keys input these two commands just after you have started guile

 			(use-modules (ice-9 readline))

 			(activate-readline)

You can preload these into guile by using this version

 		guile  -l  ~dick/lib/guile/readline.scm

Running a scheme program saved in a file

 		guile file.name

To load a file and then run interactively

 		guile -l file.name

If the file has extension ".scm" or ".scheme" try Q:

 		Q name.scm

Exitting from Guile

 		(quit)

or hold down CTRL and tap D.

Getting Help inside Guile

 		(help)

Special Constants

 		'()	NIL

 		#t	T

 		#f	NIL

Formatted output -- no printf but

 		(use-modules (ice-9 format)

adds a powerful, printf-like feature.

Case Sensitive function names

If "DEFINE" does not work try "define".
