Although this won´t be widely used I could use it for developing my personal web environment - using the named active desktop - and mix it with javascript and vbscript code. I suppose this would need REBOL to have access to the microsoft COM - or in other browsers to their respective component architecture - which I think it is not possible at this time.

Hello I want to know if it is possible to use rebol as an internet scripting language in microsoft windows operating systems, and if not yet if it would be done in the future Thanks all cesar
[REBOL] redirecting input and output
Hello, and sorry for previous message Does anyone know how to use the redirecting input feature of Rebol? I have been trying it but it doesn´t seem to work. I have tried on Windows things like: rebol -w < in > out where the file "in" is: print "hello!!" Redirecting only output works as I expect: rebol -w script.r > out

Yeah! I think my english is rather worse :-) I will archive this message because I need to learn CGI before trying to do it but I think this would be very usefull to me.

I use a web page for sending short messages to cell phones. The limit is 160 characters. The service of the telephone company allows me to send those messages as e-mails (using a mail address like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I could use my mail program to do it, but I use a web page where I write the phone number and the body of the message. I use it because it takes care of the characters you are typing and you know when you reach the 160 characters limit. When you press an OK button you send this input to the servers which send the mail. This needs a server program, because as far as I know JavaScript doesn´t have the ability to send mails by itself, but the character counting is done enterely from the client side. Using Rebol I think all this could be done from the local computer and I wouldn´t depend on the stability of the remote service (which is very poor). I´d like to write a local page which just do it. I "double-click" my page icon, write the message and send it through Rebol. I could enhace the page, allowing it to write messages longer than 160 chars and then spliting it automatically in 'less than 160 long' chunks and sending those chunks. > > ;- Elan >> [: - )] Thanks

Thanks Sorry for my ignorance but, how can I do it in Windows95? I am not going to develop app for web servers but I´d like to give my rebol scripts an html interface for local use. Rather than giving command-line parameters or getting input from the rebol prompt I would use html forms and buttons for getting input and use hyperlinks for creating menus and navigate over my scripts.

I don´t know also how to use scripts form HTML pages, using from rebol the input fields from HTML forms. Does anyone know if is itpossible? How would it be done?

[REBOL] What about Rebol/Command?
I'd like to see Rebol as an extension language I can use in my app, just like VBA or the scheme extension language of Linux, but currently it doesn´t seem to evolve to providing such a services. For example I´d like to run other programs from Rebol using it as a command interpreter ( very much powerful replacement of windows command.com ). I got very dissapointed when I discovered that Rebol doesn´t allow to do this. The Rebol FAQ says that some people have done this by writing to files while keeping another proccess scanning the files for launching the external programs. It also says that a future rebol/command would allow this ( and I hope many more things ). Do you know something about it? And what do you think about a Rebol extension language tool? thanks /cesar
