[plt-scheme] SLaTeX: getting it to work

Huh.  You did configure your file system to give Dorai Sitaram
write-access too, right?  Because every running copy of SLaTeX has a
bit of Dorai's soul embedded in it. (-:

I am still not sure that SLaTeX is actually processing the file at
all.  I'm trying to think of some kind of \scheme{...} or
schemedisplay that one could write that would actually generate a
run-time error from SLaTeX.   Having just woken up, nothing pops into
my head (-:.  Anyone?  Note that the error must be from SLaTeX, not
from the LaTeX (ie, from the code generated by SLaTeX) -- the latter
is easy.
