[plt-scheme] Error on DrScheme 301

I am using an HTDP language - Beginning Student with List Abbreviations  I 
get the error when running it.

The Simply Scheme pack is installed  for when I want to do excercises from 
that book, but I am not currently using it, I only mentioned it because it 
is the only change to the vanilla DrScheme installation.

Then dyoo's simply-scheme defines a stop function. Danny?

Surely you know how to define a function with the name stop, like this:

(define (stop x) 0)

or

(define stop (lambda (x) 0))

I strongly recommend that you do not use the simply-scheme teachpack but 
some HtDP language. draw.ss and world.ss will work in there.
