Well, let's see what we would need for a GUI function collection (just add
what's missing):
1. Write a rectangular-block of data to a specific x,y coordinate, where
content is rolled-out to the right and down. Refinement of this function
should be able to take a rectangular destination area and strip the source
to these borders.
2. Have a way to store textual data in a Rebol-object, so that it can be
accessed given a top-left/bottom-right coordinate:
get-content myContent 3 4 12 12
3. Have a stack of rectangular regions which can be stored and restored.
put console-content 3 4 12 12
put console-content 5 6 7 7
pop (restores and removes the top element)
top (restores the top element)
4. Have a tool to convert textual gui-masks created with an editor etc.,
which can later be load into Rebol.
These functions would be enough to start with.
