[plt-scheme] DrScheme Interactions window

This sounds great. I think I will need to modify it so that the GUI will
have two text fields one for the subject and one for the verb.

The only thing is, I have defined a verb as a structure and have then
defined individual verbs. So my program takes a string and a verb (struct)

(define-struct verb (inf yo tu 3sing nos vos 3plural))
(define ser (make-verb "ser" "soy" "eres" "es" "somos" "sois" "son"))

Correct me if I'm wrong, but information placed into a text field in a GUI
is considered a string. Could I possibly solve this problem by modifying my
verb definitions as such:

(define "ser" (make-verb "ser" "soy" "eres" "es" "somos" "sois" "son"))

Also, will this executable require DrScheme to be installed on the computer
that it is running on and is it universal?

As for my OS X, I am constantly harping on my parents telling them that it
is absolutely vital for what I want to do with my computer that I get an
upgrade to OS X, but they don't seem to get the point. It'll happen
eventually, though.

Thanks,
-Connor
