Is it the same result when scripts are in cgi-bin/ or another error?
if you suspect a line terminator thing, try transfering the script with
write/string/with ... and the appropriate line terminator specified.
I think that there may be another problem; are you sure that you have
uploaded the correct version of rebol, ie. for the right OS and CPU?
rebol.exe sure sounds like a Windows/DOS thingy, and that's not what you
want to upload to a UN*X server.
Maybe some of the UN*X gurus here can help you find out which version to
upload.
