Arie et al Interactive, dynamic, tutorials can be great, I agree. I'd rather do it with pure REBOL than AVI though. There are a few examples of people doing this kind of presentation system in REBOL (Carl's presentation app, EasyVID, Brett's play app that sends commands to other reblets, etc.).

Hi Andreas, AB What is the utility of 'bind? No, I don't necessarily mean the typical AB cases where bind is needed to prevent errors. What I'm really thinking AB about are situations, where REBOL's behaviour regarding contexts and AB bind is actually contributing towards an elegant solution for

Hi Max, MOA Does the return value indicate if the event should be passed MOA along to the next event handler? or anything of the like... Yes. You are hooking into an event chain so you must return the event itself. e.g. insert-event-func func [face event] [ print [event/1 event/2 event/3

Hi Behrang, BS - How can I build I18N user interfaces. Absolute BS positioning makes it difficult to have I18N BS applications. One of the great things about VID is that you don't need to use absolute positioning. Using facets like ACROSS, BELOW, and GUIDE will allow you to create nice layouts

Hi Chris, CS Does the same hold true for write/binary? You've gotten answers to this, but I'll add that one of the great benefits of REBOL is its wide array of datatypes. Using them effectively will make a big difference in how you use REBOL--not to mention how you think and feel about it. :)

Hi Luke, L I dont understand Gregg what you mean when you say L the context of an object isnt dynamic. It probably goes L beyond my current level of understanding of how REBOL L works. It just means that once you create an object, you can't add or remove words from its context (words bound to
