Yup, okay, I can understand that (don't know why, but can comprehend..)

Yup, so it does.

Yup, thought (and noticed the style bit) about that also. But, as you
notice, inform-error is a function which should "in theory" be able to
be called and executed from within the view layout [] context. It
appears to me that the parser is pulling out the pieces it wants and
disregarding the rest for the most part as unneeded.
If we do:
view layout [
button "Howdy Gang!" [print "Rebol is cool"]
button "Quit" [quit]
inform-error "Title Text" "This is some error text." "Okay"
]
We still will not get the inform-error function called which really was
the part that confused me the most as the parser (interpreter) perceives
this as a 'style.
