This option causes Scheme to load the @var{file}s (or lists of files)
following it on the command line, up to (but not including) the next
option that starts with a hyphen. The files are loaded in the

-@deffn {procedure+} gst syntax-table
-In addition to the current environment, each @sc{repl} maintains a
-current @dfn{syntax table}. The current syntax table tells the
-@sc{repl} which keywords are used to identify special forms (e.g.@:
-@code{if}, @code{lambda}). If you write macros, you may want to
-make your own syntax table, in which case it is useful to be able to
-make that syntax table be the current one; @code{gst} allows you to do
-that.
