The Official Guide will teach you a lot about core programming -- no 
REBOL/View, but as you are doing CGI work, that doesn't matter.

It's an annoying book at times as it hides the stuff you want to know by 
embedding it into a book-length example of building a character-based 
application.

If you have money left in the training budget, in many ways REBOL for Dummies 
is a better read. Again, no REBOL/View but a much less wordy pass over the 
same range of material as the Official Guide.

If you literally just want to submit a form, then you just have to build a 
URL.

Example -- does a search on REBOL.org for any script containing the word "cgi"

print read http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?find=cgi

then you need to screenscrape the resulting page.

Either that, or have the site provide a programmable interface.....Eg, 
REBOL.org has an interface called Library Data Services. Here's the same query 
using 
that:

  do http://www.rebol.org/library/public/lds-local.r  ;; initialise the 
interface
  probe lds/send-server 'find-scripts ["cgi"]
