Special Form Syntax

(keyword component ...)

A parenthesized expression that starts with a syntactic keyword is a special form. Each special form has its own syntax, which is described later in the manual. The following list contains all of the syntactic keywords that are defined when MIT Scheme is initialized:

access                  define-syntax           macro
and                     delay                   make-environment
begin                   do                      named-lambda
bkpt                    fluid-let               or
case                    if                      quasiquote
cond                    in-package              quote
cons-stream             lambda                  scode-quote
declare                 let                     sequence
default-object?         let*                    set!
define                  let-syntax              the-environment
