Nah, remember that (define XYZ ...) introduces a Scheme name (XYZ) to 
stand

You will need DrScheme on other computers just like you need Windows
on other computers to run your Windows program and OS X to run your OS X
program and so on. That's what's called an Operating System and DrScheme
is just a very high level operating system.
