The basic tool is the SRVANY utility, included as part of the Windows
NT resource kit. The kit is available FTP from Microsoft for NT3.51

Easily adapted instructions are included with the program in the file

For the past two days, we had everybody here boxing and shipping, catching
up the REBOL FOR DUMMIES back orders. By sometime tomorrow, all orders in
house will have been shipped. Which means that all orders coming in now will
get shipped same day.
Now's a good time ta order.

Ingo,
As keywords I mean words that are built into the language. All the words
in the Rebol/core dictionary qualify for this. I realize that users can
create thier own words but these I do not think fit in the same category.

Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],
You can use get and set:
## word1: "This is a word"

## word2: 'word1

## word2

## get word2
== "This is a word"
## set word2 "It still is"
== "It still is"
## word1
== "It still is"
(## is my rebol prompt...)

I seem to be misunderstanding the use of words in rebol.
say I had the following code
word1: "This is a word"
word2: 'word1
is there any way using word2 to access and set the value of word1? It seems
to me that I should be able to. I guess what I am asking is if a function
is passed a variable
