Getting Started with DrScheme

This DrScheme Companion runs in parallel to How to Design Programs. It explains how to use DrScheme as you work through the book, providing details about Scheme or DrScheme only as they become important.

If you have a question that is not answered along the way, the appendix contains a list of ``Frequently Asked Questions'' and answers. If the ``FAQ'' does not contain an answer to your question, consult one of the other sources of help:

• the DrScheme documentation, accessed by clicking the Help menu and selecting PLT DrScheme: Programming Environment Manual (MacOS 7.x: the Help menu is the question mark menu at the right end of the menu bar); and
• additional PLT documentation, available from the DrScheme distribution web site.
