I love the help procedure. It is extremely useful for a novice like me. Thank you very much much for introducing it.

I like it too! One important thing missing is access to all the R5RS names. At some point the R5RS document should be integrated with the Gambit manual. Anyone up for that challenge?

I'll give it a shot next weekend.
What would be a good way to implement it? Keep a reference table of all r5rs names? Or hit the wiki with http request, and based on the response decide if it's should look the r5rs docs? My guess is maybe the earlier one.

The ideal thing would be to integrate the R5RS document into the Gambit manual. This is a good approach because many of the R5RS procedures have been extended by Gambit (either the API or the behavior) so a Gambit specific specification is needed. But that's a lot of work.
A simpler alternative is to add to the Gambit manual a "R5RS" chapter which contains stubs for the R5RS names each with a link that will go to the appropriate section of the R5RS document (such as http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/) .

A local copy of the R5RS manual would of course be installed in addition to the usual gambit-c.html .
