;-) That's what you face if you start with HTML as GUI. I'm working on a
project (which uses Rebol as generator) to handle exactly this and I can
tell you, if you know how to do it you can get it completely portable but
it's very tricky and one needs a lot of know how about different browsers
etc. But the idea is to collect this knowledge once in a Rebol script and
let others use it.

The problem is that people are fighting HTML and browser discrepancies and
don't make it to the level where the application is the main point... I'm
trying to change this and for this Rebol is the tool to use. But the
scripts are becoming quite complicated and big (see the OA web-site is
completely done with Rebol and is about 120 K, and the site isn't that
big). Robert
