I read the first few pages of the book, and found myself wondering if (define symbol value) modifies the global symbol table, and thinking that if it does, that's not really a good thing. I don't like globals anymore.
Yes, it's global, at least within the module (which I don't think SICP talks about), but define is the only way to define anything in Scheme. It's on the same order as a function in C. Dave -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
