Thanks, Marc.  I don't see why I'm having these problems either.  It worked fine under Windows 7.

I'm not sure what form of "shell script" you are trying to create.  The first form, i.e.

    gsi <filename>

should work fine.  I don't see why it doesn't work for you.  It the problem is that you want the REPL I/O to go to stdin/stdout (for example if you want (pp ...) to got to stdout), then start gsi this way:

    gsi -:d- <filename>

You can also write Scheme shell scripts on unix by using the following shebang line:

    #! /usr/bin/env gsi
    ...scheme code
