The error highlighting works by having the errortrace library rewrite
the program to insert continuation marks all over the place. The
error-display-handler (that you installed) reads out the continuation
marks and uses them to display the error. So, I guess you'll want to
read about errortrace. In the teaching languages, I install it in the
eval-handler (the program must be fully expanded before calling
errortrace). If the docs aren't clear from here, pls. ask more
questions -- you might also look at
plt/collects/drscheme/private/debug.ss.
