@node The Scheme shell (scsh)
@chapter The Scheme shell (scsh)

An incomplete port of the Scheme shell (scsh) 0.5.1 is available for
Guile.  The idea is to allow Scheme code using scsh interfaces to be run
inside the Guile interpreter.

For information about scsh on the Web see
@url{http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/scsh/scsh.html}.
The original scsh is available by ftp from
@url{ftp://swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu:/pub/su}.

The scsh code is distributed as a separate module, guile-scsh,
which must be installed somewhere in Guile's load path before
it can be used.  This is similar to the installation
of slib (you may want to install that first, since it's needed before
scsh can run in Guile: see @ref{SLIB} for details).

This port of scsh does not currently use the Guile module system, but
can be initialized with:

@smalllisp
(load-from-path "scsh/init")
@end smalllisp
