   I'm trying to write a simple program using expect in guile and can't
   seem to get to square one. First it should be said that I'm a pretty
   intermediate guile/scheme programmer, but did a lot of lisp (and
   enjoyed it) some years ago and want to start doing more in guile than
   in perl/python etc.

   The guile expect module seems to have functions in it for processing
   the output from a port, but there doesn't seem to be an analog to the
   "spawn" function in Expect in which a program is started from which
   interactive input and output will be processed. Any leads?

see guile-sources archives:

and look for the message w/
