[plt-scheme] Re: Bad interaction w/Unix

Thanks to both of you.  What I've incorporated so far does work.  The
invocation of md-port-chunks was outside the module by mistake.  I
will definitely want to make this (and other efforts) work w/cmdline
args, so thanks for those references.

Now I just need to get a new version of MzScheme.  I suppose DrScheme
will work with the latest and bleedingest MzScheme?
