I really appreciate the help -- now Guile is seeing my slib
directory. Even though I can't seem to find define-syntax in the slib
distribution, I did find an implementation of the record structure
used in EOPL, so things are good.

A couple of questions, though. Now that I've managed to import the
module, how do I load specific things that I want -- if I wanted to
put the define-record macro in the struct.scm file in the slib
directory into my top-level, what do I do? 

Second, ice-9? What is that for? I recognize the Vonnegut reference,
but I can't figure out why it's there.
