What that come from?


Hi,

  I'm working on an app using gtk as the front end, and guile as the
  scripting language.  The C application provides guile bindings for
  various graphical features used in making maps and postgres data forms.
  
  Since C defines a simple API, the actual application is in scheme.
  When the C code catches an error in a callback (written in scheme) I
  was able to figure out how to display the stack trace in a dialog
  box.  This was immensely useful.  I'd like to add a button on this
  dialog that says "go fix it", or something roughly equivalent which
  would have the immediate benefit of also re-loading that file, or
  file section without having to restart.  (I have no command line to
  re-enter stuff in... yet)

  So I ask, how do I find out where a scheme function is defined so I
  can call gnuserv or emacsclient on it?  I'd like to eventually offer
  something more useful, but this seems like a good start to me.

  While I'm here, how do you add procedure documentation to a built in
  function?  I love hacking emacs, and want to have this feature in my
  application since I often forget what my functions parameters are.

Thanks
Eric
