Hello,
Totally new to Gambit-Scheme (and mostly new to Lisp/Scheme in general). I just installed Gambit-C, precisely for learning, and started to try the REPL. Here is an example of what I get:
======================= spir@d:~$ gsi Gambit v4.2.8
(define var 9) (display var)
9>
(define var2 10)
(define (double x) (+ x x)) (double 3)
6
(display double)
#<procedure #2 double>> (define var3 11)
=======================
- No feedback at all for 'define'. (OK)
- New prompt not separated from output of previous command.
- Key-presses of <enter> do not generate new prompt.
Is all of this intended behaviour? Or what do I miss?
Denis
Please forgive me for not answering your question directly.
I usually run my Scheme repls under Quack running on Emacs. I think the faculties thus provided do help in designing/writing code.

There are sometime unexpected, to me at least, placements of stuff printed to the screen, even when running Quack/Emacs.
oo--JS.
