I was hoping to browse the list and thus find functions/variables
of interest. What's the proper way to find out what's there?
I tried looking at the latest scheme spec index but I don't see things
like write -- which I just guessed by luck after print didn't work.
The "Kawa manual" (which is the core part of the Kawa website)
historically has documented *extensions* and differences from
standard Scheme (R5RS), so you needed to be familiar with R5RS.
I'm trying to move away from that, and document all the standard
Scheme functionality, merged into their logical place, but that
will take a while.
(I've also started on a tutorial, but that too will take a while.)
I do recommend using the SVN version of Kawa, which as seen a
lot of changes since the last release. The web-site docs are based
on the released version, but you can get the updated documents
from doc/kawa.texi - generate info or pdf or html from those.
