Logistical commands

,load filename ...
Loads the named Scheme source file(s). Easier to type than (load "filename") because you don't have to shift to type the parentheses or quote marks. (However, it is still possible to specify a filename as a Scheme string literal, with quote marks--you'll need this for filenames containing whitespace.) Also, it works in any package, unlike (load "filename"), which will work only work in packages in which the variable load is defined appropriately.

,exit [exp] Exits back out to shell (or executive or whatever invoked Scheme 48 in the first place). Exp should evaluate to an integer. The integer is returned to the calling program. The default value of exp is zero, which, on Unix, is generally interpreted as success.
