Yes, I'm using DrScheme.

But as you suggested, I just tried what happens in MzScheme, only to
find that (read-line) always return "#\r", both in v209 and in v300.3
on my Windows. So now I'm quite confused. What should my program be if 

it will occasionally ask the user to input a S-exp
it will occasionally ask the user to input a string
it should work both under MzScheme and DrScheme

???
