By "scheme in Tex" i'm assuming you mean "scheme in TeXmacs".

Have you found guile-glue-*.scm at
http://www.texmacs.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/src/Guile/Glue/ yet?

I've found those files *very* helpfull.  What i do is look through the
list for something that might help what i want, then load a "scheme
session" in the document, and start probing the function to see how it
works (sometimes crashing my session) :).
