All the way down to Advanced Control Flow part, my confusion accumulated to
a point that I thought I was not ready for the tutorial. Then I decided to
give up.
Ok, that was useful feedback! I'll try to think about how the points
may be addressed.

This is a very simple introduction for our first year students, no experience
required (hopefully):

Let me know if this is OK for you or if you spot typos etc. Ignore section 2.3,
which requires other material.

Thank you, Franco. I think I'm a little bit more experienced than your
target readers. However, I will definitely read it and give you my feedback
in a few days.

You might also try to jump into Realm of Racket, which is the intended
follow-up (at the moment) for HtDP 'graduates' who wish to get deeper into
Racket.

Hi all,
I'm looking for an atexit()-like facility for Racket.
I've tried setting the exit-handler, but it only seems to be called when
I explicitly call exit, and not implicitly when Racket shuts down when
control flows off the end of the main program.
The problem I'm facing is to buffer rows
In that case I recommend:
(1) rotate among the books
(2) write code
(3) see whether you can distill what you learn into guidelines for yourself.

Sounds to me like you want to wire into the custodian facilities (via
the ffi I believe) but probably starting with just atexit() itself is
okay.

Via the FFI! Gosh. That sounds scary.

Thanks -- that sounds like a good plan. I think maybe I've been
working in too linear a fashion and should probably take more time to
step back from the texts and start playing with the things I've
learned, or think I've learned.
Thanks again

Sorry I hit reply instead of reply all.
The docs say that all KeyEvents are strings, but not all strings are KeyEvents.
The definition of key-event? says that a key-event is either a string with
length 1 or a member of KEY-EVTS.
(define (key-event? k)

Hi. I am trying to implement the for loop.
My *for loop* structure:
*(for variable initial limit increment body*
**
*)*
(define (fvar exp) (cadr exp))
(define (fstart exp) (car (cddr exp)))
(define (flimit exp) (car (cdddr exp)))
(define (fincr exp) (cadr (cdddr exp)))
This came to my mind when I implementing Sieve of Eratosthenes with
wheel factorization.
The major concern is `in-range` instead of `range`.

If you need to introduce variable like that then, you need define

syntax-case), not define for as a procedure.
Or, if you want to define for as a procedure, then there should be no
variable argument, and the body argument should be a
