[plt-scheme] Project management

I see.  Is there a "open new window" command, and a "load file"
command, so that I could do something like:


> (drscheme:new-window)
> (drscheme:load-file "file-for-win-1-tab-1")
> (drscheme:load-file "file-for-win-1-tab-2")
> (drscheme:new-window)
> (drscheme:load-file "file-for-win-2-tab-1")
> (drscheme:load-file "file-for-win-2-tab-2")

from a "interactions window"?

(with some possible "sleeps" to avoid timing issues)


Or perhaps some keybindings (that don't interfere with the emacs
keybindings) could be written for "open new window" and "open file",
and I could write a project manager from the macro language of the
window manager....
