Guile Scripts
=============

Like AWK, Perl, or any shell, Guile can interpret script files.  A Guile
script is simply a file of Scheme code with some extra information at
the beginning which tells the operating system how to invoke Guile, and
then tells Guile how to handle the Scheme code.

Before we present the details, here is a trivial Guile script:

     #!/usr/local/bin/guile -s
     !#
     (display "Hello, world!")
     (newline)
