Thank you for the information. I'm using (+ arg 1) instead of (1+ arg) as a
workaround.

I'm using pretty-print to format code snippets as I work through SICP,
which is becoming tedious. Do you know of a script or tool that formats
Scheme files using the pretty-print rules? I've switched from gedit to
Emacs as an editor, but Emacs only seems to indent things properly, rather
than stripping extraneous newlines and trying to fit expressions on one
line if possible like pretty-print does.
