thanks, I'm digesting this.
I tend to put commands in the wrong order. isn't first parse (or would
that be 'first parse for the list?)--wouldn't that happen last? how can
I remember the correct order of things? think in reverse?

Hi,
1) Instead of saying:
"the value/string/block/whatever, 'a is assigned to"
I prefer shorter:
"A"
, simply because I don't like the waste of the (human) bandwidth.

Hi Ladislav,
When I read your explanation on why you oppose self modifying code, I
thought, hey the guy has a good point to make. It's not all black and
white, but still...
However, the kind of code that has been identified as self-modifying and
the proposals to debunk the code both fail to
Try this... you just need to write out and read in as binary to get

How about this CGI-script solution to embed REBOL into HTML ?
Installation:
Put the cgi script anywhere from where you can run cgi-scripts
Usage:

An Essay on the REBOL Series
for the Busy Non-REBOL Programmer
THE SERIES PSEUDOTYPE
REBOL uses typed data, as opposed to typed variables. A REBOL
word can refer to any legal REBOL value. However, REBOL operations

defined
TRANSLATING
REBOL expressions must be "translated" (as with 'do or 'load) before
all other activity. Barring erors, translating takes in text and
produces one or more entities. Translating a series involves:
* translating the values of the series (a potentially recursive
process for block
INDEX?
The 'index? function returns (a natural number that represents) the
current position attribute of the series. In the last example, the
index of a's value and the index of b's value are both 1.
a: "1234"
== "1234"
index? a
== 1
index? "1234"
== 1
The index is
APPEND
The 'append function takes a series and a value as arguments. It
modifies the sequence referenced by the first argument, copying the
value of the second argument onto its end (increasing the length of
the sequence as a consequence). The value of ANY series that refers
to this sequence is

It took me a while to recognize that string literals in REBOL don't
mean what they do in other languages. In another language (Perl, for
example) the statement
$a = "";
is translated into instructions that ask the interpreter to create a
new, empty string, then store a reference to that
