[plt-scheme] Error...

I understand... however, I did not mention the context in which this
question was made.
My students have a project and I asked them to use R5RS to make them
write as much scheme as possible (since the project is based on lists
I did not want them to start requiring modules and srfis to do the
project by them). However, I forgot (error ...) was not in R5RS and I
was thinking about providing them a way to notice users of errors when
they happen. It seems, they won't have much of a choice except maybe
issuing a warning with display telling that something went wrong and
the program will blow by itself... hummm... I'll have to think about
it.

Thanks anyway,

Paulo Matos
