When you do this in Eclipse, what exact steps do you follow? And what
does Eclipse do in response? Can you show an example?
Thanks,

In a typical Racket program, you define a bunch of new functions or macros,
then use those to define other functions or macros, then use those to define
other functions or ma
Oh, yes, possible.
I was playing with a #lang htdp/bsl program, and I even reported a bug
about the toolbar buttons...
Maybe at that time DrRacket was left on BSL when I was trying to run the
Module Browser.
It works fine when I have "Determine language from source".
Thanks,

Is it possible your language is set to one of the teaching language
(e.g., Beginning Student) instead of using the language specified in
the file?

The thing about how the focus changes from the editor to the repl
after you hit run... that might not make much sense unless you've read
thread or two about how the preferred PLT way of doing things is to
evaluate everything rather than a little bit at a time... or else if
you are coming from Emacs
When I first tried Racket (back when it was PLT Scheme), I primarily
programmed in Java and C++. I didn't like Racket's IDE at all.
Then I switched to Python and learned how to use a REPL. I searched for
a good Python IDE but didn't find one. The fact that I didn't have to
define a new project
Dear all,
Is there a function to send to a class with a dynamic symbol instead of a
static one?
As in (send 'method-name)
send seems to reduce to find-method/who, but this function is not exported.
Best regards,
Nicolas.

Same here. As I said in a previous message, I give DrRacket high marks for

+1 on this. I know other REPLs (at least python) do the same, but I think
behaving like a command line would be more natural to most people. Ctrl+Enter
to evaluate, Enter to line break would be nice too.
