You can access both the s48 0.53 manual and the supported SRFIes in
the [docu] section of scsh.net http://www.scsh.net/docu.html .
(Please report omissions.)  Cf. also the doc coming with scsh-0.6.1.

I think this would involve changes to the s48 substrate, not just to
the scsh code sitting on top.  At least the migration from s48 0.36 to
0.53 was a major effort.  Cf, the release notes of scsh 0.6.0.

Most things you want are available at the default scsh prompt.  The
bindings exported by the structure SCSH are listed (mediately) in the 
config file scsh-0.6.1/scsh/scsh-package.scm

  (define-structure scsh <here> ...)

However, I'd rather search for the specific module I need than track
back from SCSH to its components (a rather daunting task, given the
hierarchy of interfaces and structures).  In particular, the
character set, string, and list SRFIes are implemented by the
structures char-set-lib, string-lib, and list-lib respectively, I
think.  Cf. scsh-0.6.1/scsh/lib/.

I too miss documentation on the major modules and their contents.
