Where to find the .SCM files

[David]

Thanks Jim for the warning, I had read the link above and went to this link
given in that page to start learning Scheme.
http://www.scheme.com/tspl2d/start.html#g1546

But that book must be for real programmers not novices like myself.  I got
some of the exercises done but then ran into a brick wall when he said to
write a file and then invoke it.

I do not know enough about Linux file system yet to come across an
instruction like that.  That is why I found some other Tutorials for Scheme
for real beginners.

I will not be tinkering with reports any time soon.  I had this mental
block about the word "Script" and just could not understand how one builds
a Form and Controls with a script.

A friend of mine, Chris, who taught me C and C# scolded me yesterday about
my insistence to using Visual Studio which he pointed out "writes the code
for the form and controls and their properties for you", thus [as he warned
me] you never learn how to do it yourself.

And he also pointed out that Scheme is just another Language like C, VB, or
any other language.

So I stand properly chastised, again.
