@section{Interactive evaluation: XREPL}

The Racket distribution includes @seclink[#:doc xrepl-doc
"top"]{XREPL} (eXtended REPL), which provides everything you expect
from a modern interactive environment. For example, XREPL provides an
@xreplcmd{enter} command to have a REPL that runs in the context of a
given module, and an @xreplcmd{edit} command to invoke your editor (as
specified by the @envvar{EDITOR} environment variable) on the file you
entered. A @xreplcmd{drracket} command makes it easy to use your
favorite editor to write code, and still have DrRacket at hand to try
things out.

For more information about XREPL, see @other-doc[xrepl-doc].
