[plt-scheme] More document (newbie)

A better writeup in More, please, including of parameterize  (which also should be in the Guide (or, if it already is, under mixins, can it be made clearer that this is the same command?)).  Excellent choice of subject (web service), just not nearly clear enough yet, thanks alot.

Thanks also, Ernie and Michael, for your info.  I'll need to work with it...

Are you after a better writup in more, or are you still interested in
learning what parameterize is for yourself?
