The way to open a command port has been changed from:
db-port: make dbase [ scheme: 'odbc ]
to:
db-port: first dbase
Think of the dbase port as a factory that makes command ports.

Hi Cal,
This is by design. In the case of blocks or tuples, there is an implied
order which can be used to sort the values and compare them. In the case of
pairs, both values in a pair have equal weight, thus it isn't really
possible to do a magnitude comparison because of the situation where

Umm, the reason that the hash is slow is that it only hashes string type
values. The test you were using had numeric values. Try your tests with
strings and you should see a significant difference and I will add numeric

Hi galt,
There was a change made for REBOL/View ( and in the future for all REBOL
versions ) such that if REBOL is started with the name of a script, after
the script terminates, REBOL terminates as well. This allows for the
launching of scripts by other scripts without having a quit at the e
Even better is to use /WITH which allows you to specify exactly the line

Hi Petr,
Open opens for reading and writing by default. When a program is executing,
there is a handle open to it for loading resources/overlays. So, if you try
to open it for write, it fails. However, you can open it for reading only
by using open/read. Hope this clears it up for you!

Try doing a "help echo". That will show you that doing:
echo %out.txt
will copy all output to the file OUT.TXT as well as the console. Do a:
echo none
to terminate the ECHO. Hope this helps.

Hi Phil,

Hi Larry,
Actions can be thought of as a message sento to an object that responds.
The same message can be sent to different objects with each object
responding appropriately. For example, telling a number to add another
number to itself and telling a date to add a number to itself.

Hi Keith,
You can do this by creating your own port protocol handler for pnm or
audiobook in the same way as ftp and http are handled. This is done by
creating a port handler object and adding it to the system/schemes block.
Try doing a "probe system/schemes/finger" to see an example port handler
No, compress returns a binary! series. Which, if printed, is converted to
something readable, but if you do a WRITE, it will write the binary data.
