No, DrScheme has a conventional REPL, in which you can enter and evaluate forms one by one as in other REPLs. But every Scheme system must have a way to relaunch the REPL, even if it is only by manually stopping and restarting the Scheme process, and every good editor, such as emacs, should allow you to highlight and evaluate blocks of text at once. The DrSCheme run button is just a convenient way of doing this.
