Scheme Source Code File

An SCM file may also be a source code file written in Scheme, a programming language developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is typically edited with a text editor and then run using a Scheme interpreter, which reads the syntax and executes the program. SCM files can be edited with any text editor, but they are best modified using an editor that supports Scheme syntax highlighting.
