 | Hello,
 |    I'm having troubles to use scm (scm-5e6-1.exe; slib-3b2-1.exe).
 | getting these errors:
 | 
 | 
 | ;ERROR: "D:\\Program Files\\scm\\Init5e6.scm": list: end of file in  ((quote 
(hobbit)))
 | ....
 | ; program args: ("scm" "-hcompile" "-e'(hobbit" "example.scm)'")

There are a couple of problems with this command line.  "-hcompile"
will add "compile" to the list of provided features without loading
anything.  It should be "-rcompile".

The command line given by
<http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/hobbit_2.html#SEC2> is:

  scm -rcompile -e'(compile-file "example.scm")'

Single-quote (') is not a quoting character in MS-Windows.  If you are
trying to invoke scm from a MS-Windows prompt, then you will need to
escape the double-quotes and replace the single-quotes with
double-quotes:

  scm -rcompile -e"(compile-file \"example.scm\")"

I don't have Windows handy; if this works, I will change the
documentation.
