or Guile:

Actually you'r k_guile helpfile also includes an example for this:

eval (display(environ))

Regarding k_guile, I have some questions:

Where should I put the *.scm files (add.scm, any.scm,...) so that opening the help file in /usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/help-k_guile.pd will find them?

In the path you start pd from.

I tried /usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/ and /usr/lib/pd/extra (where k_guile.pd_linux is) but in both cases, the k_guile objects don't get created because k_guild cannot find add.scm etc.

Is it possible to add a kind of load-path as in Snd to k_guile (e.g. in ~/.k_guile.scm)?

Hmm, sorry, reading the source, there is no way to do that. It should probably read %load-path to find the path, but it doesn't. You just have to start pd from the path containing the files, or write in the complete path to the scheme-file in the pd-object. I'll try to remember this for the next release.

And third a suggesiton: I think it would be better, if the global rc-file would not start with a dot as it does in /etc/.k_guile.scm, because this fits better with the conventions for other rcfiles (like /etc/bashrc vs. ~/.bashrc). I know, that I can "fix" this in global.scm.

Yes, I agree, that is better. I'll try to remember that for the next release as well.
