I am starting a SICP study group in Seattle and am keen to know if you are choosing to do SICP in CL or if PLT has some issues. http://www.plt-scheme.org/ For CL, I like ltk. I was able to use it on Mac, Linux, and Win. The underlying Tcl/TK is free, stable, and well documented. Pick up a Perl/Tk book as well as the LTK pdf and you're set. http://www.peter-herth.de/ltk/ Why not use PLT Scheme for SICP graphics problems?

Practical Common Lisp also goes over packages, and gives a good drill on pathnames. I think I'll take this direction first. Thanks for the tip.

Exercise after exercise requires you to continually alter and reuse packages from almost the very beginning. http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/WWW/faculty/shapiro/Commonlisp/ Stuart Shapiro’s book forces you to get fluent with packages fairly quickly.
