Woah! A lot of replies. I’ve been away from my computer; I’ll
definitely come back and reply to all of your (quality!) questions and
arguments when I have a little more time at the computer. I’m looking
forward to it!

I put the first example in section 1.1 of the Scribble documentation in
Help Desk into a file test.scrbl in DrRacket (5.1.1). I can run it, and

If you open the document source again in DrRacket, do the buttons
appear? Does editing and reverting the `#lang' line make them appear?
That did it. T
