Thanks for your fixes.  So did you get Gambit REPL running?  In the simulator and/or actual device?

You need to copy from some source (e.g., emacs) then hit cmd-V in the simulator; nothing will appear to happen, but your text is now in the iOS simulator's clipboard. Only now, after "loading" the iOS simulator's clipboard, should you use the touch gesture (two finger trackpad click or control-click) on the simulator screen to get the "Select | Select All | Paste" pop-up on the iOS simulator screen and paste your text. If you don't hit Cmd-V first, your clipboard contents will be stale. This extra step is to prevent the Mac OS clipboard and iOS simulator clipboard from overwriting each other.
