I don't understand how I can call get-file differently to improve what seems to be happening currently under mac os x. In particular, when I try to save a file "x.scrbl" it asks me if "x.rkt" is what I meant and the default choice is to keep the scrbl extension (this is under 10.6; maybe things are different on 10.5?)
