Hi Max, MOA does anyone know how to get the images which are used for filetypes associations MOA ? Under Windows you'd probably need COM access to get at the IExtractIcon interface in the Shell extension system. Since we can't do COM, that method is out. You might be able to do it another way,

excuse me for sounding critical here, but rebol should let us create datatypes, for dialects in the least. I can't see why dialects should have to follow rebol's syntax this is true for operator too. For your interest, have a look at item 59 and 60 on this page:

as Icon is generally saved as a resource inside of a dll you can use the res protocol to access it: http://www.google.com/search? hl=enie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8q=res+protocol however using that from rebol is probably not doable. Hi Max, MOA does anyone know how to get the images which are used

Nesting makes sense: it is useful to let the system know where to go when the wait finish. Rebol handle this with nested wait. It does make the modal interface much easier to use/change/tweak. I had built an event blocker before, without knowing how the current system does it, and I must
