[plt-scheme] Bitmap manipulation in terminal program

Unfortunately, not. At least not for now. I'm not sure it is even
possible to use X's bitmap libraries (which mred does, or at least
cairo) without a display.

You can setup a VNC window, tho, and that won't require a display and
will let you run mred.

hth,
Robby
