This is not a reply really, more of a me-too.

I have recently written a program in C/C++ using gtk [1] and now want to
type a script (say) (or commands) at the console/terminal.  I would like
this to be interpreted by guile but cannot see how since gtk has the
control passed completely to it using gtk_main().  

Is scm_init_guile() really the way to do it?  I got the impression that
it was not, if I wanted portability (and I do).

I initially thought that that guile + gtk (not guile-gtk) would be
common combination and tried to find examples to see how they did it,
but I could not.  Can you recommend anything?

I thought that converting to guile-gtk, but since I was using glade and
gtkglarea, I was a bit nervous about doing that.  Should I have been?

Thanks, 

Paul.


[1] actually it does some sort of molecular graphics, I wrote about
something like it a few months ago.
