There is an example in the documentation exactly for that:

http://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/Keyboard_Shortcuts.html#(part._.Sending_.Program_.Fragments_to_the_.R.E.P.L)

I don't know if that would help you, but in case someone missed it, you can:

1) click on the upper left of DrRacket on the name of the current file to
be able to quickly open other files in the directory tree (that's a
clutter-free way to add functionality!)

and

2) click on (define ...) to navigate the definitions of the current file



- Show arglist/documentation, goto definition, cross referencing.


The Check Syntax button (or the online check syntax in the new 5.2)
provides go to definition. Just right click a name and choose that from the
popup menu.
It is also great to see cross references (where is this name defined, when
is this variable used, etc etc)
