	I've tried fiddling with as.scm, but apparently my mzscheme-fu is but weak.

In file script.arc :

  (prn "Hello, you know!")
  (quit)

In file script :

  #!/bin/bash
  mzscheme -m -f as.scm  < script.arc

(Putting /.../as.scm if necessary.)

Then

  chmod +x script

And

  ./script

Hmm. Problem is, that means stdin is your arc script. For many scripting tasks, you want stdin to be the input to your script, e.g. a pipe or console or redirected file.

I got no problem with that, if it works! Thanks

Any way to do it that isn't a hideous hack?

Has anyone thought about using Platypus (on OS X)?
