Unfortunately, the stepper is not yet integrated. I have plans to integrate it, though. A first step will be to base Geiser's interaction with Racket on Eli's xrepl module, which already offers a stepper in the text REPL. Once that is working, it'll be time to add a better Emacs interface....

You can also try with individual definitions first to see if they work (you'll need to compile the file first (C-c C-k) so that Racket knows about it). The macro expansions should take place in the context of your #lang, modulo bugs. Hope this helps, jao -- "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work...
