Are you sure about this? It claims to be object-oriented. First sentence 
from the introduction 
( http://www.rscheme.org/rs/b/0.7.3.3/21/doc/c33.html ) says:
"RScheme is an object-oriented, "
Well, perhaps its crappy. ;-)

But I wonder if the main problem with rscheme could be the documentation.
Or at least, that was my biggest problem when I looked more closely at 
it 1-2 years ago. On the other hand, the main developer seems to be very 
active, so its probably not much trouble just to ask on the mailing list.
