Perhaps REBOL.ORG could add a "Help Page" library to go with the script
library.
Of course, it will also be grand when REBOL exposes the FeedBack
Knowledge Base.
Meanwhile, I'm about to expand my own help desk, and would like to use
a REBOL script to do it. I see a lot of scripts with component parts,
but nothing like what REBOL FeedBack is already using. Anyone working
along these lines?

I think it's must a have. E.g., as for networking, to show on very
simple
example, why there is no 'second, 'third etc. applied to opened TCP

value is obtained by several applications of 'first port' ... I
