Hi there. We are trying currently to run scheme 7.0 here; so far we have things running fairly smoothly. But we don't know how to use the Edwin editor. We rummaged around and found edwin.tar.Z, ftp'ed it, and unpacked it; but so far can't seem to load it when running scheme. Is there some command that will do so; or is there a switch on starting up? We'd be happy to figure this out ourselves if we had some access to the manual; but we can't find (anywhere) man.tar.Z. Where can we get it? Thanks much in advance. --David Sylvan

Start up scheme as scheme -edwin Once you have the scheme prompt issue the command (edit) An emacs-like buffer will appear and you can use C-h to get help. If you are running scheme from gnu-emacs you can also take advantage of the texinfo files provided. Hardy Mayer ----****---- Professor Meinhard E.

Start up scheme as scheme -edwin Once you have the scheme prompt issue the command (edit) An emacs-like buffer will appear and you can use C-h to get help. If you are running scheme from gnu-emacs you can also take advantage of the texinfo files provided. This is only true of release 7.1 . The -edwin flag did not exist in 7.0 . In order to start it up under 7.0, assuming that you already have a band (edwin.com) use scheme -compiler -band <pathname>/edwin.com The -compiler option is used to tell scheme to allocate more memory than the default. If no band was specified, it would load a compiler band as well. Once this starts up, (edit) should work. The band can be constructed from the binaries in the edwin directory by doing (begin (with-working-directory-pathname "<edwin directory pathname>" (lambda () (load "make"))) (disk-save "<lib directory pathname>/edwin.com")) The binaries can be constructed from the .scm sources by doing (with-working-directory-pathname "<edwin directory pathname>" (lambda () (load "edwin.sf") (load "edwin.cbf"))) in a Scheme with the compiler loaded. I hope this helps.
