Here's another approach:

(define fred "This is Fred")
(define (foo bar)
    (display fred) (newline) (display bar) (newline)
    (display "and now via eval-string...") (newline)
    (let ((string1 (string-append "(display fred) (newline) (display \""
bar "\") (newline)")))
      (eval-string string1)))
(foo "Actual parameter")
