The page

  http://www.plt-scheme.org/software/slideshow/examples.html

has a link to a "Languages as Operating Systems" talk. It mostly still
works in the latest version, but something something changed along the
way (the fine details of parameters, I think) so that stdout/stderr is
not captured correctly.

Here's an updated variant of that talk that does work in the current
version of PLT:
