Scheme Programming/TinyScheme
TinyScheme is a lightweight Scheme interpreter of a subset of the R5RS standard. It is meant to be used as an embedded scripting interpreter for other programs. Much of the functionality in TinyScheme is included conditionally, to allow developers to balance features and size/footprint.

Some Tutorials
editSaving a textfile
edit(define txt-output-file (open-output-file "file.txt"))
(display "text to write" txt-output-file)
(close-port txt-output-file)
The last line is especially important as elsewise the file would not be closed and could not be modified by other programs until e.g. GIMP is closed
