new to guile, how to go ahead ?


hi gurus,
	I've just started to tinker with guile, in a hope that 
eventually instead of writing shell scripts, i'll be writing
guile scripts. 
	though there is lot of info on web, i'm actually confused.
can you please help.
	What exactly i should be needing. do i need slib, or is
it with guile , or is it not at all needed ?.
	what are the guile functions for, say opendir etc . are they
	'builtin' or seperate modules ?.
	which is library for x11 ( i saw some lib for scm), ncurses ?

	is there any relation between scm, rscheme, elk, guile. do 
	libraries like slib work on all.( because i saw mention of
	guile in some rscheme library ).


	last but not the least, is guile good vehicle  to learn scheme ( i'm
conservant with lisp  ).
	
	Lastly, what are the main point of difference in scheme and lisp.

	Thanx a lot
