Under NT the registry cannot be accessed as a file. You must using the API
calls to read and write stuff to it. We use it to setup information that
in-house developed applications use. We seldom touch the microsoft areas
unless we know what we are doing. (That doesn't happen often.)
Right now we use Wise as an installer AND general purpose scripting
language, with call-outs to a DLL of C functions for hard stuff, like doing
interesting things with the registry or executing SQL scripts on an Oracle
database. This all works but the result is we have some serious logic and
investment tied up the WISE scripts.
Ideally we'd like to dumb-down the WISE scripts and put the smart code up
into a good, general purpose, human readable format like REBOL.
As idea how much REBOL/Command will sell for?

You could certainly use it to parse/read/write to the registry (assuming
it's a text file like in 95/8). Whether that would be advisable...
I've heard looking at the registry sorta mean can break things...
