Actually, my own, non-root, account has the ordering that you mentioned. I'm afraid to tinker with root's path ordering, so I'm leaving it as is. Apparently I installed Guile 1.3 in January or February as a general good idea and renaming 1.3 hasn't hurt me so far. Using Guile as a shell, given that it will be made more consistent and not so dependent on whitespace placement, etc., seems an excellent idea to me. I studied SICP using Scheme and miss its continuations in SML97 and Haskell98. I'll be following this list with interest now. > At any rate, Guile 1.4 is up and running.
