[plt-scheme] Accessing the Registry under Windows 2000

Hi all,

I'm trying to read configuration variables from the Registry under Windows
2000 using the 'get-resource' function (from the MrEd collection). Either I
don't use it properly or it is somewhat broken.

Here is a simple interaction in DrScheme v202*:

> (define sec "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE")
> (define key "SYSTEM\\Setup\\OsLoaderPath")
> (define val (box ""))
> (get-resource sec key val)
#f

On my machine, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\Setup\\OsLoaderPath does
exist.

Any clue?

Note:
* I can't switch right now to v203. That's why I only tested under v202.
