Here you go -

(use-modules (languages gstep-guile))
(display ([] ($$ "Hello world\n") cString)

Basically, the syntax of a method call changes from
  [anObject aName: anArgument]
to
  ([] anObject aName: anArgument)

Where you would use a literal class name in ObjC, you have to use a 
quoted string in guile, so
  [NSArray array]
becomes
  ([] "NSArray" array)

Where you would use the @"literal string" syntax in ObjC, you would do 
($$ "literal string") in guile.

Assuming you are using the latest code, you can use the (gstep-gui) or 
(gstep-gdl2) procedures to load in the gui library or gdl2 library in 
addition to the default base library code, thus making  gui/database 
classes available for use.
