You're running this in DrScheme, right? I think you're seeing this  
because DrScheme automatically moves to a newline when it puts the  
prompt up in the interactions window. Newlines are printed as  
prescribed except on the last line of output from your function/ 
program. Here's a demo:

	#lang typed-scheme

	(display "Hi")
	(display "Hi\n")
	(display "Hi\n\n")
	(display "Hi\n\n\n")
	(display "Hi\n\n\n\n")

when I run this program in DrScheme I get the following (comments  
added afterwards):

	HiHi ; <- No newline here
	Hi

	Hi


	Hi



	> ; <- DrScheme prompt

I think if you were to run your code from the command line, everything  
would work as expected.
