What you get, looking at http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-2.0/guile-ref/index.html, is ... Looking at 'Procedure Index', for example not really knowing what your look= ing for but presumably starting with letter 's', as a 'pure' scheme programmer, rea= ching scm-xxx, you'll have to hit more or less 33 times page down [depending on y= our display and browser size obviously] to 'continue' with other 'scheme' indic= e entries [they may be other entries, at the beginning they are *scm_]. If you realiz= e you probably have passed and missed the item you're looking for, you'll have to= hit 33 times page-up ... not a big deal but it would be really nice to have 'per l= anguage' indices. If [and only if :-)] it can be easily done [which I assumed, but ...], i wo= uld suggest the following [assuming a 'grouping' by language but i don't have a= problem if it is by 'proc' 'var' and 'type' Indices . Concept Index . Scheme Procedure Index . Scheme Variable Index . Scheme Type Index . C Procedure Index . C Variable Index . C Type index .

Many thanks for your work on the manual. Cheers, David
