Gee, there is no wonder why my stuff dont run the first time... What you shown
actually works, the to-file as I indicated is useless, since you already specified
the filename as a file. Anyways here is my scribbles for code that demonstrates
your doing the right thing:
rebol []
forever [
filename: to-file ask "file: "
directory: read %./ ;read the directory into a block
found: find directory filename
if found [ print rejoin ["Found: " first found ] ]
]
Your bug is unlisted, try running a trace on it.
