   I just pulled MIT-Scheme Release 7 off of gatekeeper and was
   disappointed to discover that the accompanied manual has several large
   gaps, namely large(?) chunks of sections 8 (OS Features), 9 (Syntax
   Transducers), 10 (User Interface) and all of section 11 (Debugging
   Tools).  

   My question is basicly "What's Up?", to which I see a number of
   possible answers:

   4)  "These sections aren't written yet, but will be Real Soon Now"

This is the correct answer, for some value of RSN.  I created those
sections of the manual when I was working on it as an outline for what
remained to be done, but then I ran out of steam long before the thing
was finished.

I don't expect to resume writing that manual any time soon.
