Cool. Thanks Joel, Anton. I ended up reading the entire {} group one
character at a time, because I ultimately limited the length of output lines to
75 characters per line, along with a header character at the beginning of each
line.
By the by, what's "IOW" in this context mean?

I'm new to Rebol and thought I would try and impress my little brother

Maybe try using Amazon,

then parsing through the result to find the title and authors.

Have you tried modifying the list's feel/redraw ?
It starts off as none so you should be able to
put your own code in there no problem.
eg. try this:
view layout [
list 300x300 [button] data [["hello"]["there"]] feel [
redraw: func [face act pos][p
You should try it yourself before making such
easy suggestions. :)
Anyway, last night I wrote a new style, that draws
a scalable radio button:

Hi, below you will find a first attemp for a "tree" style based on the
list-style. The source is not indented to avoid line breaks.
However, I'm sure it's far from perfect but that's how far I made it today. Have
a look and let me and the others know what you think.

I see.., rebol is remarkeble small, but I think we forget
that it is realy is just a fine compressed binary, wich expands

so dont be fooled that its only 225 Kb..

Hi, I have the following problem: I'm using a list style to display some data.
For the list style you supply a layout block that gets called once the block
containing the list style gets layouted:

hey..
i think you can type radio 30x30 and it will work.
But you got a better solution : it exists a "click-face" function that
someone wrote. With it, the user will could click on the text associated
with the radio and the radio will be check..
i think it's the original function

Is there an upcoming support for USB ports on some OS platforms??
And how about Parallel port support?
