I followed your method of invoking Guile with "simply.scm" at the command-line, got a new REPL.
Then executed "scheme@(guile-user)> (word 'comp 'uter)" and got the error message below;
;;; <stdin>:2:0: warning: possibly unbound variable `word'
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Unbound variable: word

Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.

Followed by the command prompt "scheme@(guile-user) [1]>".

Occurs to me that I could be doing something wrong, would you please send in your "simply.scm" as an attachment in reply to this email?

Thanks,
