Of course! I have to learn myself how to make eggs but I promise I will do ;-)

I have just a couple of questions:

1. What does

mean ?

2. (define chicken-manual "/usr/local/share/chicken/doc/chicken.html")

environment variable or something containing the location of the doc
directory so we can avoid hard coding it?
