Hi Steven,
It's good to see another Aussie on the REBOL list.
It's probably not much use, (considering you want to deal with the registry),
but I do have a script for parsing .ini files, returning info based on the
required key and subkey.
Let me know if your interested, and I'll forwarded it to you.
Cheers,
Allen K
ps I'm looking for work in REBOL,
please let me know if your department decides to move in that direction. :-)
