I've tried these variations, while being in the same directory as rebol.exe: rebol dns.r rebol %dns.r "rebol.exe" %dns.r "rebol.exe" dns.r" while being in a different directory: "C:\REBOL\Rebol.exe" %dsn.r "C:\REBOL\Rebol.exe" dsn.r they all just go to the ">>" prompt. Can type them manually and they work fine. BTW, is the "%" required on the command line? Seems to work with or with-out it.
