Using scheme from the shell

To use Scheme from a shell, you need to add /cse/courses/misc_lang/axp/mit-scheme-7.3/bin to your path (in your .cshrc file). If you don't already have a path, then the line to add is set path = ($path /cse/courses/misc_lang/axp/mit-scheme-7.3/bin). Now you can type scheme at the shell to get the MIT Scheme interpreter.

Using scheme from emacs

To use Scheme from EMACS, you should add the following function to your .emacs file:

(defun mit-scheme ()
(interactive)
(load "/cse/courses/misc_lang/axp/mit-scheme-7.3/lib/emacs/lisp/xscheme.el")
(run-scheme "/cse/courses/misc_lang/axp/mit-scheme-7.3/bin/scheme"))

Now you can start MIT Scheme by typing Meta-x mit-scheme in EMACS.
