Have you also looked at init_procedures() and marshall_proc_db_call() in the 
scheme_wrapper.c file? You will find other examples of defining Scheme 
routines that will call C when invoked and which require parameters.

That is about all I can suggest for the moment without knowing the specifics 
of the situtation where you feel you have to use scheme_call.

AFAIK, they are still maintaining TinyScheme although I don't know how 
actively. Jonathan had also talked of doing a rewrite of TinyScheme but I 
haven't heard anything further on that issue.
