Here's a link that is actually live, I think: https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/computing/programming/LISP/Scheme/An%20Introduction%20to%20Scheme%20and%20its%20Implementation.pdf Here's another: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/fall00/ai/scheme/reference/schintro-v14/schintro_toc.html

Thanks Jean, this is very useful and informative. I'll go read sicp (again, last time was several years ago) and meanwhile experiment with the code you sent me. As to format, it's not that I don't get it, it's just that straight up interpolation, being more compact, is better for simple things. In
