-       "Teaching introductory computing courses with Scheme, or any other"
-       " functional programming language, facilitates many conceptual tasks"
-       " and greatly enhances the appeal of computer science. Specifically,"
-       " students can implement many interesting programs with just a small"
-       " subset of the language. The execution of a functional program can be"
-       " explained with simple reduction rules that students mostly know from"
-       " secondary school.  Interactive implementations allow for quick"
-       " feedback to the programmers andmake the development of small"
-       " functions a pleasant experience."
-       (p)
-       "Unfortunately, the poor quality of the available environments for"
-       " functional languages negates these advantages.  Typical"
-       " implementations accept too many definitions, that is, definitions"
-       " that are syntactically well-formed in the sense of the full language"
-       " but meaningless for beginners. The results are inexplicable behavior,"
-       " incomprehensible run-time errors, or confusing type error messages."
-       " The imperative nature of read-eval-print loops often introduces"
-       " subtle bugs into otherwise perfect program developments. Scheme, in"
-       " particular, suffers from an adherence to Lisp's output traditions,"
-       " which often produces confusing effects. In many cases students,"
-       " especially those familiar with commercial C++ environments, mistake"
-       " these problems for problems with the functional approach and reject"
-       " the approach itself."
-       (p)
-       "To overcome this obstacle, we have developed a new programming"
-       " environment for Scheme. It fully integrates a (graphics-enriched)"
-       " editor, a multi-lingual parser that can process a hierarchy of"
-       " syntactically restrictive variants of Scheme, a functional"
-       " read-eval-print loop, and an algebraically sensible printer.  The"
-       " environment catches the typical syntactic mistakes of beginners and"
-       " pinpoints the exact source location of run-time exceptions.  The new"
-       " programming environment also provides an algebraic stepper and a"
-       " static debugger. The former reduces Scheme programs, including"
-       " programs with assignment and control effects, to values (and"
-       " effects).  The static debugger infers what set of values an"
-       " expression may produce and how values flow from expressions into"
-       " variables. It exposes potential safety violations and, upon demand"
-       " from the programmer, explains its reasoning by drawing value"
-       " flowgraphs over the program text.  Preliminary experience with the"
-       " environment shows that students find it helpful and that they greatly"
-       " prefer it to shell-based or Emacs-based systems."
