Try "DrScheme" <URL:http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/>:

	DrScheme's features include: 

	- Source text highlighting of syntax and run-time errors 
	- Support for multiple levels of Scheme from ``beginner''
	  to ``advanced'' 
	- Interactive and graphical static analysis 
	- A simple graphics library 
	- An advanced graphical user interface (GUI) library 
	- Objects, threads, modules, exceptions, TCP/IP, and
	  regular expressions, and filesystem support 

That "multiple levels of Scheme" comment means that, for example, in
"beginner" mode it won't *let* you write a "cond" or "case" without an
"else" clause, or a single-tailed "if". That kind of stuff...

And it runs on just about everything in the world...
