rewrite the scheme tutorials, they are now cleaner and more in line  
with the sal tutorials.

(define pat
    (make-cycle (list (make-heap '(a b c))
                      (make-heap '(d e f)))))
=> pat

(next pat 50)
=> (b c a f e d b a c e f d b c a e d f b c a f e d a c b d f e a c b  
e d f a b c d f e b c a d f e b a)



You are getting confused about creating patterns and reading patterns
1 first construct a pattern with the (make-XXX ...) function (where  
XXX is some pattern name)
2 once you have a pattern (that might contain other patterns) you read  
items from it using  (next ...)
