[plt-scheme] View Keyword Docs in Emacs (Quack mode)

I was just seeing this in my installation of 372.  A temporary 
workaround is to add some additional directories to your 
"quack-pltcollect-dirs" variable.

In my case, I did  "M-x customize-variable RET quack-pltcollect-dirs 
RET" in Emacs and added the following two directories:

    /home/neil/.plt-scheme/372
    /usr/local/src/plt-372

I will fix the Quack code when I get a chance.

By the way, for doing MrEd GUI work, I generally recommend using 
DrScheme.  If you want, you can have the files in Emacs at the same time 
they're in DrScheme, and keep the two in sync by reverting buffers.  On 
the Emacs side, I use "revbufs.el" when doing this with multiple files:
