i have looked now for a  Guile manual
- why does TeXmacs not appear at the bottom of this page then ?

I did not think about this, but a few weeks ago I placed a link to TeXmacs in the Wikipedia page on Guile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Guile).

Said this, I think it is still good to use Racket's documentation to learn about Scheme which you then apply to Guile. The differences are few enough that many of the examples work, and after a short while you will be able to guess in advance (for enough cases at least!) syntax that is valid in Racket only: they are the functions which perform complex actions. The "rule" for guessing helps to figure out what is happening when a program copied from Racket's documentation does not work: if there is a "complex" function, one can check if that function exists in Guile.
