This is not bad:
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/macros-defining-your-own.html#defmacro

It's CL, not Scheme, but I believe define-macro comes from CL anyways.
You can ignore the part before the anchor that link goes to.

If you have never seen CL, you can either read the previous chapters  
of that book, or pretend it's just Scheme with a different syntax:

(defun name (args ...) body ...)
=> (define (name args ...) body ...)

(defmacro name (args ...) body ...)
=> (define-macro (name args ...) body ...)

IIRC (do) is the same as in Scheme.  If you encounter (loop) just  
treat it intuitively (and watch your back ;-)  This should be enough  
to get through that chapter.
