NAME
scsh-0.6 - a Scheme shell
SYNOPSIS
scsh-0.6 [switch arg1 ... argn]
DESCRIPTION
scsh-0.6 is an implementation of the Scheme shell. It is implemented
as a heap image which is interpreted by the Scheme 48 virtual machine.
scsh-0.6 is a stub program that starts the virtual machine on the scsh
heap image.
The scsh-0.6 command loop reads Scheme expressions, evaluates them, and
prints their results. The Scheme 48 system is an R5RS system with many
additional features. It also executes commands, which are identified
by an initial comma character. Type the command ,help to receive a
list of available commands, or see the documentation for Scheme 48.
Scsh’s switch argument can be one of
-s script
--
Either of these switches terminates argument parsing; following
arguments are available from scsh as the string list produced by
(command-line-arguments)
The -s script switch causes scsh to run in batch mode, first loading
the script and then exiting. The default error exception handler
terminates the process.
If the -s switch is not specified, scsh operates in interactive mode.
It invokes the Scheme 48 top-level read-eval-print loop, from which the
user can enter forms to be evaluated. In interactive mode, the default
error handler invokes an interactive debugging breakpoint.
The -- switch is used to pass arguments to an interactive scsh. It
simply terminates argument parsing, causing following arguments to be
bound to
(command-line-arguments)

Too big; starts up too slowly.
