To add to my previous message, I know and understand that DrRacket and
GUI are very complex. I've been going over unit.rkt. Yeah it's a lot of
code. But it's not as bad as I thought.
I'm just offering a hand in making sense of it all. With enough time and
patience I'm sure I'll get something out of it. Now, if you think my time
would be better used for something else Racket-related, do tell.
