[comp.lang.scheme] Help on PC Scheme

I'm attempting to do some Scheme as the last part of
our Jr-Sr level Programming Languages course. My problem is that
we are using PC Scheme properly licensed but with no documentation.
I tried to find some in the Pitt Bookstore, but no luck.

My immediate problem is with the editor, edwin. I have pieced
a number of commands by simple trial-and-effort means. Does anyone
have a condensed list of edwin commands? Can one read a file
into edwin for editting purposes? I'm not happy about exiting
from Scheme, entering vi, making changes, exiting, entering
Scheme, etc.

A second question: how does one turn function tracing off and
on in PC Scheme? I have had no luck with that one at all.

Finally: on a Common Lisp system I used a while back, by simply
entering the name of function, one received the corresponding
lambda expression. Is this possible in Scheme? Is there any way
to determine the currently defined functions (like "oblist" in
old LISP) ?
