  This is an example of how a Java program can use JScheme code.  It
  provides static methods you can use to interatively manipulate Java
  Objects.  It beats debugging with print statements and backtraces.

  <p>Much of what you need to access JScheme from Java is in the class
  jscheme.JScheme, the Java Scheme interface.
