Thanks ... I think :-) found the example and perused the linked PDF 
(section 4.2.2. Binding constructs) with out much if any understanding.

I changed:
(define (save-layer orig-image layer name)
    (let* (
        (image)
        (buffer)
        )

to:
(define (save-layer orig-image layer name)
    (let* (
        (this-is-correct 0)
        (image)
        (buffer)
        )

I'd expected that this would still choke on the (image) and  (buffer) 
bindings (terminology(?))  so I guess that let* syntax just requires at 
least one variable-init pair?

Anyhow, it works now :-)

P.S.: Offtopic - I noticed in your reply that you sent it to "my 
address" with cc. to the list. I got only one copy (I think because 
Gmail suppresses the extra). Is it "good form" to just select ReplyAll 
and allow both to be sent. I've always tried to remember to delete the 
sender's email-address and send only To: thelist
