[Jscheme-user] defmacro in jscheme

[Andreas R. <and...@pv...>]

Hello!

I'm trying to port some scheme code from guile to jscheme, and have run 
into som problems with macros.

This is the function that I would like to port to jscheme:
(defmacro def-save-var (nm value)
   `(begin (define ,nm ,value)
           (set! variable-list (cons ',nm variable-list))))

The code can be found in context here (commented out in lines 94 - 96):
http://code.google.com/p/aisleriot-web-client/source/browse/trunk/src/main/resources/scheme/sol.scm

This is a description I have found about jscheme macros:
"This syntax is defined so that (define name (macro (args) body)) is just 
like Common Lisp's (defmacro name (args) body). I realize I should add a
mode where this syntax is not used."

Could anyone please help me getting this macro correct in jscheme?
You can see my attempt in lines 100-102, but it doesn't seem to work
correctly.
