I added some html to the server, so when i ask for a directory it's sent formatted nicely,, it displays ok in IE5 , but again Rebol chokes on it, displaying: >> print read http://localhost/ connecting to: localhost ** Script Error: Invalid argument: <BODY. ** Where: make integer! value The first line of the html sent is: <HTML> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><H4><CENTER> File listing for Root </CENTER></H4> I don't know html at this point, btw.
