Hi Anton,
Most of the contexts of interest are those associated with objects. I am too
tired right now to go into details, but see my previous response for more
info. Your questions are well taken. REBOL currently does not have a
built-in object browser, which makes exploring objects a bit tedious. And
the docs are somewhat behind.
You can learn a lot quickly using Nenads help.r which can browse into
objects. It works with both Core and View. You can download it at:
http://rebol.dhs.org/help.r
Just put do %your-path/help.r in your user.r. Then you can start by
>> help system
OBJECT: system
WORDS:
build -- (Type: date)
components -- (Type: block)
license -- (Type: string)
product -- (Type: word)
version -- (Type: tuple)
view -- (Type: none)
SUB-OBJECTS:
console
error
locale
network
options
ports
schemes
script
standard
user
words
FUNCTIONS:
stats -- System statistics. Default is to return total memory
allocated.
The sub-objects can then be accessed with path notation
help system/ports ;for example
And so on, drilling deeper and deeper.
In this way, you can fairly quickly learn about the words defined in all the
accessible objects.

Subject: [REBOL] Re(2): 'parse-url - where defined?

How did you discover this?
Did you know 'parse-url already or did you have to search?
How would you go about searching for a word
whose value is defined in some other context?
Is there a way of determining which
context a word's value is defined in?
Is there a way of listing all contexts?
Anton.
