I am sorry. I suggests it only because I am learning it now. On the other hand, a missing ')' also invokes this kind of error message. Good luck, Zheng Li On Mon, 2006-11-06 at 11:13 -0500, Ashifi wrote: > Don't mean to start a VI vs Emacs war here, but is there anything like > this for VI? My

Don't mean to start a VI vs Emacs war here, but is there anything like this for VI? My debugging arsenal is limited to VI Scheme syntax highlighting, VI parenthesis matching and find & replace. Does this error mean a parenthesis mismatch [an extra ')']? ERROR: In procedure list: ERROR: end of fil

If you are familiar with Emacs, its Scheme-mode may help you debug the codes by writing the following codes in your .emacs file: (setq scheme-program-name "meep") (setq scheme-mit-dialect nil) Best, Zheng Li On Sun, 2006-11-05 at 23:13 -0500, Ashifi wrote: > Thanks for the tip, Matt. I based my

Thanks for the tip, Matt. I based my code on that thread and a host of suggestions in the mailing list archives. I'm trying to come up with a list of newbie guidelines for MEEP simulations, but they have to work for me first. Let me play around with the script a bit, and If I don't get good result
