Arie:
since a few month there's been done a lot of work on View 1.3.
But is already known when the project will be finished? Is there a time
planning?
The last announcement seems to leave it open-ended:
http://www.rebol.net/projects/view1.3/chat2.html
There is a lot of good work going on.
The time planned for release was January 1. I haven't heard a date
mentioned since we passed that date. I think we have a particular scope for
what needs to be fixed/enhanced and as soon as we reach that point then it
will be released...

Mainly that,yes -- any application that needs more than one script to work.

Hello,
I am a complete newbie with Rebol having just recently downloaded Rebol/Core

following code

word a word at the end of the path

Hi, all
The way I see it is that any value which does not evaluate into an action
simply returns a clean version if itself. It is possible that some values get
reduced or corrected as part of their evaluation, but I do not know how to
call this behavior.
example:
2001-3-4
== 4-Mar-2001
The problem you are experiencing here is the difference between a path! and
a lit-path!. changing the line:
path: 'root/sub1/sub2/word
to:
path: root/sub1/sub2/word
will make it function as you expected. using a lit-path! will force the
interpreter to NOT evaluate the path. NOTE: The
Hi Ron,
Omit the tick before the path string:
path: root/sub1/sub2/word
== a word at the end of the path
That does the trick. The tick indicates that you're talking about the path, not
whatever the path would represent. See?

welcome to the fun of rebol :-) and the headache with its documentation

Actually, the core guide is not 100% up to date, and you stumbled over one
of its shortcomings. Your code worked in core 2.5.0, but since then
evaluation of paths has changed, so you

To evalute a path you must use 'DO and include the path in a block.
