[plt-scheme] MrEd's stdio REPL with GUI code

Evaluate

  (current-eventspace (make-eventspace))

as the first expression in the stdio REPL, and then it will work the
way you want.

The GUI REPL creates a new eventspace for evaluating expressions, so
the expressions are not evaluated in MrEd's main thread. The stdio
REPL, however, uses the main thread for evaluating expressions, so that
it acts just like MzScheme.
