42 From Stephen Compall. Thanks!
43

48 formerly single-quoted. Remove some redundant quotes around code.
49 Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
50 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
51 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
52 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
53 readers not to forget the difference.

1206 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1207 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1208 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
