REBOL hangs. the rest of the prompts come up "correctly" after I hit enter.
Why is that?

I tried it, after commenting out this line:
        change-dir %/home/
    'cause I've got no directory with that name, and got:

Script: "Title Here" (27-Dec-1999)
What Day? Monday
How many hours?  3
What did you do?  Took attendance records for local school.
What Jobsite?  Colenso HS

with this in %mytime.txt:

 Day:      Monday
 Hours:    3
Task(s):  Took attendance records for local school.
Jobsite:  Colenso HS

It seems OK to me, except for the leading space before these lines:
        "Day:"
    and:
        "Hours:"

But that's due to the space in this:
        [{^/ Day:      } day {^/ Hours:
    after each newline character.

What's the problem? :-\
