I'm in the process of writing a SCHEME interpreter for the GS.  Just the
basics so far, but I support esoteric stuff like vectors and (soon) 
delayed evaluation.  It's got a useful user interface, and you can call the
APW editor from within, and you can load text files of SCHEME code
into the environment with a (load "filename") command.
I don't allow comments yet (next thing, I promise).

The big question is:  Is anyone interested?  I'd hate to think that all my
effort is going to waste.  I could provide source if you want (it's BIG, and
not very well commented, but if you understand C it shouldn't be too difficult).

I have to give some credit to my CS instructor (Simon Kaplan, PhD) for getting
me interested in SCHEME/LISP derivatives and for writing the basic core of
the interpreter (this is the second version, the first I wrote entirely myself,
entirely from scratch).

If anyone wants me to upload it, or just set up some kind of transfer session
just call me (217-332-5325) or leave me Unix Mail (address below)
