-I also like TI Scheme quite a bit (although people around here may not
-believe me :-)  However, according to my information the Student
-version 3.0 differs from the Professional version 3.0 by NOT including
-the extended/expanded memory support, or the external language
-interfaces.  Both versions have some IBM PC graphics support (which I'm
-not too familiar with).  Based on versions 1.0 and 2.0, the
-Professional package should cost around $100 - $150 ?

The price of the Professional package is in fact $99 from TI; some software
vendors go as low as $79 + s&h.

However, I have used Scheme for some (student) work, and I have to agree
that it is a very nice package.
