  12. I occasionally would like to eval a scheme expression in my
  13. program, but I find it is specifically excluded from the
  14. language.  I would like to be able to read and evaluate
  15. scheme expressions in my application, but I don't know how.
  16. Does anyone else know?  Can someone explain why I don't
  17. really want to do this?
