it will always add it.

the desktop needs that file to know what files the site wishes to expose to the rebol 
desktop.

in other words, the rebol desktop isn't a "web browser".  in rebol speak, I guess we'd 
call it a "reb browser".  Although it uses standard web technology to access the files.

Web servers only rarely allow a listing of any site's content.

Having the index.r file in that folder, then allows the rebol desktop to know what 
files are (or should be) available (or allowed access) and what types they are and 
when was the last time they where changed.  You can even specify visual information on 
how the rebol desktop should look, including background effects and icon images.


HTH!
