Thanks for the reply jao, and sorry for taking some time to get back
with some feedback.

I have done what you suggested, basically this is the output to the
*geiser messages* buffer when I do the geiser-doc-look-up while on a
'define' symbol:


INFO: REQUEST: <42>: ,geiser-eval geiser/autodoc racket (get-help (quote
define) (quote "MY-PROJECT-PATH/racket-test.rkt"))

INFO: RETORT: ((result "#<void>") (output . "Sending to web browser...
  file: /usr/share/racket/doc/reference/define.html
  anchor: (form._((lib._racket/private/base..rkt)._define))
"))

INFO: <42>: processed

Any ideas?
