- A Scheme Shell, by Olin Shivers
the paper on the rationale and design principles of scsh; htmlised by Dorai Sitaram's tex2page. Also a Unix rant and a tractatus on high-level languages meeting operating systems.
- The SRE regular-expression notation, by Olin Shivers (thread)
posted to comp.lang.scheme.scsh in 1998-08. Subsequently, Olin replied to some comments and explained the rationale for the SRE abstract data type, distinguishing data structures from language-level constructs (that Lisp-heads notoriously tend to mix up).
Some uses that should (...) let the advantages of the notation

Of related interest: some posts on building lexers.

- What is it about Unix that sucks so hard?
Unix, when experienced through the Scsh interface, doesn't feel that bad.
Nonetheless, it's still Unix and —definitely suboptimal, as you may
gather from some of these quotations and links.
