The 'ask command returns a string.
So you should use:
x: to-integer ask "X? "
'array expects a block of integers, rather than words that point to
integers, so
arr: array reduce [x y]
Some of your other questions can be answered from the documentation, such as
the User's Guide, which you can download from the www.rebol.com
site.
