When you're through using Scheme interactively, you need to be able to get out of it. You give a command to tell the interactive Scheme system (which is just a program) to terminate.
Most systems have a special command (starting with comma or whatever
the convention is), like ,exit
. (It might also be ,quit
,
,halt
, or ,bye
.) There may be a Scheme procedure you can
evaluate to kill the system, by evaluating a procedure call expression
in the normal way, e.g., (exit)
, (halt)
, (quit)
, or
(bye)
.
In many systems (especially under UNIX), you can use an interrupt
key sequence to kill the system, if you're at the top-level. E.g.,
at the top-level prompt, <ctrl>-D
, may do it.
