Hi Anton, I just ran REBOL/View from my REBOL home directory to test the default install behavior. I was able to rename rebol.exe to another file name (blah.bak) and then write out a random file downloaded from a remote web site to a file named rebol.exe . You don't have to delete the file for th

I just tried opening a copy of my rebol.exe, named rebolblah.exe and within the rebol console to delete %rebolblah.exe. This produces a write access error. As far as I know you can't modify a running executable. That's on WindowsXP. I can't remember if Win9x allows that. Anyone ? Anton. > The i
