I am trying to pass variables to Rebol from a HTML page -no problem doing 
that so far.

Noah and I worked out the form so that a HTML formatted page (because of 
the aesthetics) prints on a distant printer with a recreated HTML page with 
the variables inserted.

Good so far.

Then we realized that the <FOR ......  GET> has a predetermined capacity of 
only 2K of data.  That limit is inherent to HTML, not REBOL.

The cure to the data transfer limit is <FORM ...... POST> but we cant make 
the code work inside Rebol with a POST transfer.

The examples are all for <GET> transfers which is handled differently by 
Robol (as it is with perl).

If you need -i will give you FTP access to a file directory here so we can 
<===> files.

This will be uniquely valuable to all of us who need to have forms for 
ourselves or our clients.  I can show you how to auto print at a distant 
printer without user intervention.  Thait is not an issue.

I am sure this is purely a labor pain.  Rebol is very impressive.
