Hi all,

I just stumbled over a terminology issue: are "procedure" and "function" synonyms in Scheme or do they refer to different things?

From my earliest experiences with programming I'd recall the difference to be that functions return a value and procedures don't. But that's clearly not the case in Scheme.

Any enlightenment available?
