[plt-scheme] Re: gl-config% - Double buffering

It's probably better to choose something simple to do with MrEd,  
first.  In the meantime, you can read about graphical concepts like  
models and views.  Then, you can try OpenGL in Scheme.  Unfortunately  
many OpenGL tutorials use C, which is unnecessarily cumbersome and  
very distracting (that's how I learned some in the last millenia.)   
DrScheme allows experimenting with OpenGL much more interactively.

PLT-Scheme is a much better way to learn
