Preparing DrScheme

IMPORTANT: DrScheme provides several languages that customize DrScheme for different levels of learning. Initially, you will use DrScheme's Beginning Student language. Beginning Student is the default; if it is changed, you can restore the language setting as follows:

  1. Select Choose Language... from the Languages menu. A dialog box appears with a choice control (a.k.a. ``pop-up menu'') at the top.
  2. Choose the Beginning Student langauge from the choice control and click on OK.
  3. Click the Execute button. After clicking Execute the lower window indicates that the current language is Beginning Student.

You need to set the language level only once until you change languages. When you quit and restart DrScheme, the langauge setting is preserved.

The Beginning Student language level is used for Parts I and II. Starting with Intermezzo 3, switch to Intermediate Student. Finally, starting with Part VI, use Advanced Student.

See Preparing DrScheme Jr for information on setting the language level in DrScheme Jr.
