Hi PP,

I hate to say it, but

http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/untyped/delirium.plt/1/0/doc.txt

might be a good place to start.

Delirium uses continuations to maintain a REPL-style testing loop:

    * Run the test code until a browser API call is made.

    * Send the command to the browser.

    * Wait for a result from the browser.

    * Return the result to the test code and loop.

Commands are sent to the browser as fragments of Javascript. Results are sent
back in JSON format and are parsed into Scheme data structures.

Hopefully that's a start on your question, anyway. It's reasonably
late at this point in GMT.

Cheers,
Matt
