[plt-scheme] here-string

Bruce,

Thanks for the reply, but as Felix mentions, I was hoping for a more
WYSIWYG-ish solution where I didn't have to worry about the
double-quotes (or newlines).  Any ideas on how to get either of the
following?

Either something like the following from the scsh manual:

(run (csh -c #<<EOF
cd /urops
rm -rf *
echo All done.

EOF
))

or even something like the following might be OK (but it's probably
not quite as nice):

(define sh-code-1
  (here-string
   alias modemup='su -c "ifdown eth0;wvdial &"'
   alias modemdown='su -c "killall wvdial;ifup eth0"'))
=>
alias modemup='su -c "ifdown eth0;wvdial &"'
alias modemdown='su -c "killall wvdial;ifup eth0"'

(define sh-code-2
  (format
   (here-string
    alias ~a='su -c "~a"'
    alias ~a='su -c "~a"')
   "modemup"
   "ifdown eth0;wvdial &"
   "modemdown"
   "killall wvdial;ifup eth0"))

Many thanks!

--David
