AW: [plt-scheme] word completion for module based languages

Yes, the language is in the language dialog and defined as module with
"(module ..." and uses drscheme:language-configuration:add-language and
drscheme:get/extend:extend-unit-frame. I will look at "#lang ...". So far I
only know that one can use it as an abbreviation for module.

Can you tell me a little more about how you've added the language to
DrScheme? Is it in the language dialog?

If so, perhaps you might consider defining your language in a way that
"#lang ..." works and then using DrScheme's module language. We're trying to
migrate that way so that all of the information needed to run the program is
in the program's text itself (as opposed to being in the environment).

I suspect the answer here may be the same as the above, but I'm not sure.
