Dear Professor Wittenstein,

Thank you for the compliments!

I'm CCing the plt-scheme mailing list as well, because I'm not too familiar 
with what's involved in getting the Stepper to work with the Simply Scheme 
language level.  I'll try to take a look at this when I have free time, but I 
can't make any promises on this.

I see that Neil Van Dyke asked a similar question in 2003:

    http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2003-January/001653.html

so I should talk with him to see if he got some useful feedback.

Best of wishes to you!
