Ahh, yes. I feel I have it solved:
print reform [rejoin [{A HREF="http://www.domain.dom/cgi-
bin/displaycomments.cgi?comments-directory=} article-temp/reference-
number]]
This will create a link that will carry the reference number of the news article
to the displaycomments.cgi script and thus the displaycomments.cgi script
will know in which directory to look for the comments related to that article.

[REBOL] REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE Re:(2)
No disrespect intended, but having found the book for $31.89 with no shipping (at ecampus) I don't think the tip sheet is worth the extra $13.60. On a side note, it seems that there are two other Rebol books out there as well. I'm still getting this one, but... > >REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE, the first commercial book about > >the REBOL language, is now at the printers!

[REBOL] Updating Lists in View/VID
Hi, I've been trying to put together a list-box of text using Vid's list keyword, and while I can get the box to show the initial text okay, I can't work out how to update it. The following's a simple example of the approach I'm using... REBOL [] test-list: [["item 1"]["item 2"]["item 3"]] change-list: [ test-list: [["new item 1"]["new item 2"]] list-box/data: test-list show list-box ] view layout [ size 300x150 backdrop 130.130.150 list-box: list 200x120 [ text 200x15 [do change-list]] data test-list map [text] ] This will place the "item 1", "item 2", and "item 3" strings in the box, but when I click on them to [do change-list], nothing changes, the "new item 1" and "new item 2" strings not replacing the list as I'd hoped they would. So, is the list-box/data: I'm using in change-list wrong, or is there something I'm leaving out? Carl Read.
