That looks right. The string you are sending to Eval() is

 "(with-output-to-string (lambda () (print \"hello\")))"

Since

 (format "~s" '(with-output-to-string (lambda () (print "hello"))))

isn't a C++ expression, I think the string you are sending to Eval() in
this case is

 "(format \"~s\" '(with-output-to-string (lambda () (print \"hello\"))))"

If that's right, then the string you get back is the right result.


In other words, it seems that I have confused you by trying to format
the Racket code more nicely. Forget `format' for now and just consider
this form:

 (com-invoke MZCOM "eval" 
              "(with-output-to-string (lambda () (print \"hello\")))")
