actually, i got it to work by making the following change to the
xscheme.el file on the next:

change line 494 from
                        (let ((process-connection-type nil))
		to
                        (let ((process-connection-type t))

this is the same change you have to make to cmu's ilisp package to get
it working on the next.  (thanks to Christopher McConnell for the tip)
