It’s extremely unclear how to use that directive.
You shouldn't use `#%module-begin' at all -- it's a part of the implementation of R6RS in Racket. > Anyway, to rephrase my original question so it’s more clear: `#!r6rs`, > and the expansion of that, `(module foo r6rs … )`, combined with > `(#%module-begin … )`, is causing a syntactic error when I try to use > two `(#%moduleb-begin … )`s in the same file (and thus in the same > Racket `(module … )` decaration, since it doesn’t seem Racket will > allow two `(module … )` declarations in a given file.)

The R6RS doesn't specify how libraries and top-level programs map to the file system. In Racket, each R6RS library and each top-level program should be in a separate file. 2. To create a library that you can refer to from a top-level program, see the documentation here: http://docs.racket-lang.org/r6rs/Installing_Libraries.html -- sam th [email protected] _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
