As far as structured text editors for Scheme go, there is Emacs +
paredit.el, which I like a lot.  Though written in elisp, paredit
could certainly give you ideas if you are looking to write your own
editor in Scheme.    See http://mumble.net/~campbell/emacs/,
especially paredit.release, paredit-beta.el and paredit-beta.html.
