[plt-scheme] Languages: Reloaded

That did the trick. I suspect my explorations down the tool-based route 
were because I started with EoPL, and never looked back.

I'll have to go back and re-read the relevant documentation, as it seems 
I'm now at a different point in the expansion tower. For example, I no 
longer define the reader, and my 'raise-syntax-error's don't interact 
with the definitions window in the same way.

Many thanks again, and I'll keep poking around.

Cheers,
M
