I think there is a lot more than this to say about writing scheme
code in Vim, which means that the following would need to be edited
into a large document, but I'll throw it in to get started[1]:

  At a minimum, your .vimrc file should contain the following
  commands:

  <++> .vimrc
  "automatically indent a new line to the same indentation of the
  "previous line.  This makes it easier to work with a single block
  "of code.
  set autoindent

  "when you type a closing parenthesis, momentarily highlight the
  "matching opening parenthesis.  This allows you to quickly see
  "which function you are closing while typing code.
  set showmatch

     per the instructions on [wiki:svn checkout].
