, the second page states

It's blank for me, too, on Debian with Firefox 127.0.1.

If I paste `(star 50 "solid" "red")` in myself, running it does work as expected.

I'm not sure if [https://github.com/bootstrapworld/wescheme](https://github.com/bootstrapworld/wescheme) would be the right place to report this, since it seems to be an issue with inserting something into the WeScheme Definitions Area, rather than a problem with WeScheme per se. Maybe @sorawee would know how to pass this on to the right people?

Thanks @soegaard for confirming that it works somewhere, and @LiberalArtist for the reassurance that I'm not losing my mind ... doesn't work for me with current Safari/Firefox/Chrome/DuckDuckGo/Arc on Mac 14.5, or Safari 16.6.1 on Mac 11.7 (Intel), or Firefox on Raspberry Pi (Bookworm).

Well ... Turns out I just copy-pasted without thinking.  
I thought the problem was, that the program didn't work in WeScheme.  
I don't see anything in the definition window wither.

Sorry for the confusion.
