[plt-scheme] problem

Mike Aneward, Sky gave you the correct answer to your specific question.


I do recommend that instead of using the draw.ss teachpack and  
working your way your HtDP,
take a look at

  http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP/Prologue/book.html

read it, and use real images in drscheme together with the world.ss  
teachpack.
Do the book exercises that don't involve drawing and otherwise look  
at the material
linked to the above site for "drawing" exercises.
