In an effort to understand this new (and very interesting) language, I 
decided to try something simple; I created a simple guessing game where 
the computer picks a number between 1 and 100.

Simply yes? Yea, right! :)

For whatevcr reason: newbie, stupidity, or that my computer just plain 
hates me, I can't get the silly thing to work.

Here is the script:
REBOL [
    Title:    "Guess a number between 1 and 100"
    Date:     05/11/2002
    Version:  0
    Author:   "Ed Dana"
    Purpose:  "An excersize in REBOLion."
    Comment:  "Just goofing off."
    Category: [game]
]

pick: random/seed 100.0

guess: ask {What is your guess? }

while [pick <> guess] [
  if [pick < guess] [ print "To low"  ]
  if [pick > guess] [ print "To high" ]
  guess: input 
]

print pick

And the results I get:
 >> do %guess.r
What is your guess? ** Script Error: trim expected series argument of 
type: series port
** Where: ask
** Near: trim either hide [input/hide] [input]

What is it talking about? I haven't a clue.

I've even tried using Guess: Input and it defines Guess as 1.

Any advice is appreciated, including types on suicide so that I may hide 
my shame from such a simple newbie mistake. :)
