Yes, that's what I meant. What you get, looking at
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-2.0/guile-ref/index.html, is ...
Looking at 'Procedure Index', for example not really knowing what your looking
for
but presumably starting with letter 's', as a 'pure' scheme programmer, reaching
scm-xxx, you'll have to hit more or less 33 times page down [depending on your
display and browser size obviously] to 'continue' with other 'scheme' indice
entries
[they may be other entries, at the beginning they are *scm_]. If you realize you
probably have passed and missed the item you're looking for, you'll have to hit
33
times page-up ... not a big deal but it would be really nice to have 'per
language'
indices.
If [and only if :-)] it can be easily done [which I assumed, but ...], i would
suggest the following [assuming a 'grouping' by language but i don't have a
problem
if it is by 'proc' 'var' and 'type'
Indices
. Concept Index
. Scheme Procedure Index
. Scheme Variable Index
. Scheme Type Index
. C Procedure Index
. C Variable Index
. C Type index
. R5RS Index

Thanks God :-)

I will if and when I have a useful comment to make but so far I think it really
is
good.
Many thanks for your work on the manual.
Cheers,
David
