Does anyone know a way to freeze a PC-Scheme session? I know dos-call can be used to return to dos briefly. Since the session is lost if the machine is rebooted (because part of the session stays memory resident), though, this isn't satisfactory for doing a long-term freeze. Suggestions?

Does anyone know a way to freeze a PC-Scheme session? I've found SoftwareCarousel by SoftLogic Solutions to be very useful with PCS. It allows you to switch, with a hot key, between PCS and other applications, such as an editor. (Epsilon is my favorite editor, since it can be customized to bounce parens and do nice Scheme indentation.) When PCS is swapped out, I it is saved in a file. It should be possible to kept this file somewhere permanent with a DOS copy, thus saving the frozen the session. Doubtless similar things can be done with other DOS swapping utilities. DoubleDos is another candidate, since like SoftwareCarousel, and unlike some others, it's resident memory requirments are modest enough to allow PCS to run moderate sized Scheme programs.
