Thank you. I have tried but it is still not working. Could it not be that I am sending this (FTP) from a PC to a Unix machine? What is this thing about line terminators?

I believe that most (all?) web servers must be configured to know which directories contain (cgi-)scripts and which contain data. Standard is data, and that's what happens when the url is refered in your case - the server see your .r file and doesn't recognize the extension, after which it returns the file as text/plain. You are probably not allowed to set permissions/modes on the directories. If there is a directory in your site root called cgi-bin, you might try this: copy your scripts to cgi-bin/ add this to the top of the scripts: #!../rebol/rebol -s I don't know about the path thing though, you might have to experiment a bit. I see one danger here; what if something goes wrong and rebol prompts starts popping up on the server screen :-/ I might be useful to have a rebol exe which under no circumstances would require user interaction and would simply quit silently if anything went wrong.
