Please remove this form from scheme.el. It arranges for the command run-scheme to autoload xscheme.el. The problem is that xscheme.el *only* works for Cscheme. If the user is using another Scheme implementation besides Cscheme or another gnumacs interface besides xscheme.el, he loses. Even if he sets the autoload himself in his .emacs, it gets womped the first time he visits a Scheme file and scheme.el loads in, overwriting his earlier autoload with the xscheme.el autoload! There are many Scheme implementations available. CScheme is only one of them. scheme.el shouldn't constrain the user like this. I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, but there you are. -Olin (autoload 'run-scheme "xscheme" "Run an inferior Scheme process. Output goes to the buffer `*scheme*'. With argument, asks for a command line." t)
