Go to menu item: edit, preferences, background-expansion
and enable it.
Sometimes it is necessary to close and reopen DrRacket to get the choices 
active.

Jos,  What is "background expansion" and how do I turn it on to see if it helps 
me?  I just did a search of help and didn't find the
term.  I did look around in view but don't see that as a choice.

The "Program Contour" feature is another revelation! I appreciate, finally, why 
those "pesky" many-line declarations of things like 
;;;   
;   ;;;   ; ;;  ;     ; ;;   ;    
;   ;  ;   ;  ;;  ;  ;   ; ;  ;;  ;   ; ; 
;   ;  ;   ;  ;   ;   ;; ;    ;   ;   ;  ;;   
;   ;  ;   ;  ;   ; ;; ;   ;  ;   ;   ;;  
;   ;  ;   ;  ;   ;  ;   ; ;  ;;  ;   ;   ; ; 
;   ;;;   ;   ;   ;;;   ;;  ; ;   ;;;;    
; 

are there! ;-/  That's cool!

Partly out of bad habits and partly out of the way the racket documentation is 
segmented I obviously haven't read it thoroughly enough.  I just spent a few 
minutes searching Amazon and elsewhere for a bound or kindle-downloadable book 
of documentation.  Yes, I found plenty of documentation in HTML form - but is 
there an expanded form where I can read it more conventionally and carefully at 
my leisure?  I would be willing to pay for it...cause I'm obviously paying for 
by other means! :-)
