+@cindex image support
+In schemes that support images as values (currently, that means Racket),
+the REPL will display them inline if you're using them in a
+graphics-aware Emacs.

+@imgc{repl-images}
+
+@cindex external image viewer
+@cindex image viewer
+For the terminal, images will appear as buttons: press return on them to
+invoke an external viewer (configurable via @code{geiser-image-viewer})
+that will show you the image at hand.  You can also ask for the same
+behaviour on all emacsen by customising
+@code{geiser-repl-inline-images-p} to @code{nil}.
+
+@cindex image cache
+Geiser keeps a cache of the last displayed images in the directory
+@code{geiser-image-cache-dir}, which defaults to the system's temp
+directory, with up to @code{geiser-image-cache-keep-last} files.  You
+can invoke the external image viewer on any of them with @command{M-x
+geiser-view-last-image}, which takes a prefix argument to indicate which
+image number you want, 0 corresponding to the newest one.
