Hi Nicholas,

What was happening (I think) is that your scheme buffer wasn't being recognised as a MIT-scheme one. In case you ever want to use more than one scheme with Geiser, possible alternative settings are discussed in the manual: [...] > Questions: > > 1.

In Geiser there is no *scheme* buffer where one evaluates expressions (if that's what that buffer is, I've never used Edwin). The evaluation results are also displayed in a buffer called *Geiser Debug*, but only for the last evaluation. > 2. Does Geiser provide the same debugging capabilities of MIT Scheme > Edwin? Just trying to get a comparison. I've never used Edwin's debugger, but I am pretty sure it doesn't. Geiser MIT support is basic (I think, I am not its author, but it hasn't been updated in years), and my understanding is that it delegates to the REPL for debugging operations. That's a common trait accross most implementations, to be fair. Hope this helps, jao -- The enjoyment of one's tools is an essential ingredient of successful work. – Donald E. Knuth
