Nope ... but you can look at some example ObjC applications and convert
to guile.  See usr-apps/examples in cvs.

You do need a code-only intro (as in the example area).  However, you 
can
load in UI definitions from a gorm or renaissance file, so you don't 
have to
code everything.

Probably you will want to do some subclassing ... the gstep-guile 
Testing
directory contains some simple class creation tests.

PS.  Don't write in guile unless you actually like guile ... writing 
code in ObjC
is a good experience.
