Elk is one I've had a go at before, and though I wasn't terribly
satisfied with it then, the problems I was dealing with have gone away,
and the new version is said to be much improved.

According to the Scheme FAQ elk is at tub.cs.tu-berlin.de:/pub/elk/

The FAQ mentions several others too:

	scam.berkeley.edu:/pub/src/local/fools.1.3.2.tar.Z
	ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/		(looks promising)
	ftp://clark.lcs.mit.edu/pub/su/scsh/scsh.tar.gz		(also promising)

Depends what you do I guess, and/or if you've decided to to use some
other language such as perl.

I find I write at least one new script a month, but then I'm always
automating things, and building new types of tools.
