Elan,
I agree, that is why in a later email in regard to responses like
yours I thought it would be nice to separate the functionality
of /Core and /View maybe via a switch that could unset most of
the /View components (bear with me) so that /View is started with for
example "rebol.exe -c" which would basically be /Core functionality
for cgi applications. Either way I was just trying to express what I
still feel is the future of /View.
