That one is part of a whole missing area, on the implementation of the Guile REPL. Is it really useful to document this, though? Perhaps the real issue is that things like set-batch-mode?! and error-catching-loop shouldn't leak (by default) into the Guile namespace? If anyone wants to work on a patch to clean that up, that would be great. (I believe ttn has done a lot of work on factoring boot-9.scm in his Guile. In principle that can all be ported across, but in small steps please, so we can be careful with reviewing and documenting any compatibility impacts.) Neil
