Hi Steven,

Putting the parens on separate lines as one might do with C braces is normally 
not done in the LISP/Scheme/Racket world. Any proper editor can do paren 
matching, including Frescobaldi. Frescobaldi can format Scheme fairly well. 
Emacs of course has various modes for Scheme which make indention and bracket 
matching so simple that they become transparent.

In the interests of maintainability, I think it is better to learn the accepted 
Scheme practice of how brackets are laid out.

With an editor that has built in understanding of Scheme, I am sure Scheme and 
you will soon be getting along just dandy!

LISP of course is an acronym for Lots f Irritating Single Parentheses.

Andrew

And apologies for the formatting.  Scheme and I do not get along.  Counting 
parens drives me crazy, so I format it like I do any other language that uses 
braces instead of parens (expect lots and lots of extra white space!)
