Hi Max and Gabriele, thanks for your help!
In the REBOL Language FAQ I found a reference to REBOL_HOME, but I couldn't find references anywhere else! There are however references to the HOME variable in de Core Users Guide. As you say Gabriele, indeed I found a variable HOME in the registry, pointing to the correct directory. My problem however is that my user.r doesn't get executed without a correct HOME environment variable! Replacing HOME with REBOL_HOME just makes that user.r doesn't get executed anymore, which is bad! What is also important is that it did work without problems (without an environment variable), when I had the regular REBOL/View version running. The problem started when I switched to the latest View Beta (rebview1246031.exe). I then could solve it with a HOME env. var to get user.r executed again. But now the Gimp really needs (another) HOME var and clashes with REBOL. Using REBOL_HOME doesn't work AFAICS Any ideas? BTW, I really do not understand why RT doesn't package View beta releases in exactly the same way as regular releases!!!
