[plt-scheme] running an MzScheme debugger in Emacs?

That's a good analogy. But I don't think I'm particularly gifted in 
programming, which is why I avoid debuggers, which I think will get in 
the way of my becoming better at it. I learned to write before checkers 
existed, and I'm reasonably good at it, so (when I have to use Word 
instead of LaTeX within Emacs) I keep the spelling/grammar checker on to 
avoid the occasional glitch. But I tell my students, who for the most 
part are quite hopeless at writing, to use checkers only sporadically 
and to try to get their defect rate down by conscious effort. (Since I 
teach computer science and not freshman comp, this goes in one ear and 
out the other, but so does the corresponding advice about programming.) --PR
