Using DrScheme to Prepare Project Reports

1. You can open up a new window, like the definition window, by using the File menu's New option. That will give you somewhere to work on your report that is distinct from your definitions. Alternatively, you can directly write the report in your definitions window. If you do use a separate window, you should use DrScheme's Edit menu to Copy definitions and Paste them into the report, rather than manually retyping them. Students who retype inevitably make typos and wind up handing in procedures that couldn't possibly have worked.

2. You should start each line of the English text of your report with a semicolon, so that it is a Scheme comment. Not only does this prevent DrScheme from trying to execute your English text, it also prevents DrScheme from trying to automatically indent it as though it were Scheme.

3. You can Copy and Paste sample input and output from the interaction window into your report as well, including images.
