Hi Alex,
I wrote a short essay on this once, but lost it when my box crashed;
but it may still be available in the Guile mail archive somewhere. I
think I called it "GUIfying the Guile REPL", so you could try
searching for that.
If you are happy to have the Guile REPL entry line in a Gtk widget
(rather than from the terminal that you ran the program from), then
you can do something very similar to my guile-gui package (available
from http://www.ossau.uklinux.net/guile/). If you need more help to
understand what this is done, I'd be happy to provide it.
One caveat with guile-gui is that I haven't tried running it since the
guile-gtk package (which you will also need) was at version 0.18; so
it might need some tweaking for the last guile-gtk.
Regards,
Neil
