it works now; thanks!
the main reason I posted to gambit rather than #scheme ... is that this seems a C-FFI (thus implementation specific question, not a generic scheme question)
if I'm wrong ... please point out what scheme standard defines how NULLS from C-FFI/land is handled in scheme?

(get-foo) should evaluate to #f if there is no bar.
You should give #scheme a try for such basic questions.
Good luck,
