Cannot start MIT Scheme - Heap Size exceeded

For some reason I'm having trouble running MIT scheme. On my Dell, which runs Windows Vista, I can't even open MIT scheme; I get a message: "Heap Size exceeded", or something like that. I can run it fine on my Mac, but Edwin is a bit confusing. Does anyone know how to fix my problem on Windows, and where I can find some good Edw开发者_如何转开发in tutorials? Thanks!

Edwin is a variant of Emacs which uses Scheme instead of Emacs Lisp. Take a look at the relevant sections of the MIT Scheme manual:

Not sure why MIT Scheme wouldn't run on Windows, however, if you installed it on OS X, try just running mit-scheme from Terminal.app. This should just give you a Scheme REPL. You can enter Scheme expressions etc, and also load Scheme source files with (load "file.scm"). Finally, you can also load files from the command line with mit-scheme --load file.scm.

If all that doesn't work, are you sure you need MIT Scheme? You could try PLT Scheme/Racket, which would let you run Scheme code, you might have better luck in Windows. Not sure about that though.
