Normally for myself I keep a probe() definition handy: define probe(x) display "probe: " \\ write x \\ (newline) Then whatever I need to probe, I just convert: define (f a b c) def/expr ... last-expr to: define (f a b c) $ probe $ let () def/expr ... last-expr -- SUBLIST rocks. probe can also be a macro: define-syntax probe ! syntax-rules () ! \\ ! ! probe x ! ! \\ ! ! let ! ! $ v $ x ! ! write 'x ; show the expression ! ! display ": " ! ! write v ! ! v > > Wish you good luck.

Yes, although I worry that it'll require a #lang declaration rather than our preferred #!sweet form... Is the latter possible in Racket? AFAIK all Racket languages require a #lang form, I'm not at all certain it's possible to use #!sweet. (Note: I haven't gone digging through Racket docs, so correct me if I'm wrong here) Still, not a big problem, and it seems that Racket's current #lang will do quite well. Sincerely, AmkG
