[plt-scheme] Debugging Multiple Modules

Right now, if you open two files in drscheme, and an error is signalled
from an evaluation in one file whose source location is in the other
file, DrScheme goes to the second file just fine. Is that what you
want? Or, do you really need the two interactions windows to be
syncronized?
