RE: [Chicken-users] Using csi with emacs

[Jonah Beckford]

I think you just need to send the option "-:c" to CSI while running it in
emacs.

In my Cygwin XEmacs initialization, I have, among things, the following
line:

(setq scheme-program-name "/usr/local/bin/csi -:c -:d -:w -hygienic")

In the CHICKEN FAQ (http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/FAQ.html),
question #30 answers the question "When I run csi inside an emacs buffer
under Windows, nothing happens."

Also see the CHICKEN manual, section 3.2 and section 4.1, on the various
other options you can use.  I find "-:d" useful while in XEmacs (because I
only use emacs for debugging Scheme).
