Hi!

I have just started to study Racket and Racklog, so this probably is a very 
elementary problem, but I haven't been able to find a satisfactory solution on 
my own, and I would be grateful for getting some pointers into the right 
direction.

I'm trying to employ Racklog for mixed forward and backward chaining inference 
and have conducted some experimentation with it. I use a blackboard-like 
repository for facts implemented as a Racklog predicate. However I have not 
been able to figure out how I could automatically ask the user for missing 
pieces of data. When the inference engine tries unsuccessfully to unify a goal 
with the blackboard, I would like to present the user with a dialog asking her 
to input the data, which could then be added to the blackboard. Embedding this 
into Racklog predicates has turned out to be harder than I could imagine - 
probably I've just overlooked or misunderstood some critical piece of data in 
the Racklog manual.  Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Mikko Tiihonen

P.S.

This succeeds, when tried directly:

(define %pred
  (%rel ()
        (() (%== #t (equal? (read-line) "t")))))

but when chained backwards from another predicate, no dialog is presented.
