For example, "symbol" is a guile procedure. I can see that by typing its name. guile> symbol # But how can I find more information, such as its definition, including what types of arguments it expects and what it does and returns? I don't see symbol listed in the Guile Reference manual index. I'm not sure where to look in the source code. Thanks, Scott
