Is there a good interactive Scheme interpreter available somewhere? Something that makes it easy to try out simple things, and has a usable command history function. Something like Python's IDLE.
I've tried Chicken scheme and DrScheme, but I didn't quite like them. I don't want to have to retype a 10-line procedure just because I made a small mistake. Or do I have to resort to non-interactive use for trying out things while I'm learning scheme? 
 Gambit has a nice REPL.
 But I have this feeling, that you must have overlooked something in
both Chicken and DrScheme.

I don't think I've overlooked anything in Chicken. And ctrl-p in DrScheme opens the print dialog. I've compiled gambit with msys and mingw32, but the interactive mode just exits when I try to execute a command. Something about a network error is all I'm able to read vefore the window closes. Is there any chance that GUIDE will work, if I compile that?

Well, I believe that someone said that the history was ESC-p in DrScheme, and not CTRL-p. I don't know, but I am very certain that there is a command history in DrScheme. And if there isn't, the definitions window and the REPL are so convenient to move back and forth between that you could easily work with that in lieu of a history.
