I've been looking through it to find specific things (like elements), but
I'm only now learning what I don't know.

Hmmm.  OK.  My Scheme is pretty rusty, and the only book I have around
is my 1987 copy of Abelson & Sussmann (my first CS textbook from
college!).  Between that and various random Web pages, I gather that
Scheme's string handling is pretty sparse, so we can't do something like
Perl's split.  :-p  I won't worry about this too much for right now, 
since I've got loads of other things to deal with (between Real Work 
(TM) and other parts of the release notes).

Bruce.
