I absolutely agree! Still, better to have this functionality in my kludgy
version, than not at all. If anyone has ideas on improvements, please
tell me!

I just sent mail to rebol.org. Didn't try to use the Web form.
Even sending by mail there was a problem: The main index page wasn't
properly updated. I added the category MATH to the script, and that appeared
on the MATH index page. There are now seven scripts listed on that page, but
the main index page still says there are only six math scripts.
Also, my first update to search-text.r appeared among the new scripts on the
main index page. But this wasn't changed when I sent a second update. As a
result the main index page lists version 1.1, but if you click the link
you'll see version 1.2.
Anyway, I think it's best to send scripts to the rebol.org bot by mail,
and then announce them on the list. There haven't been very many new
scripts on rebol.org this year, so we ought to get some new stuff up
there and keep up the interest.
I've got a couple more scripts I wrote with Larry and Jerry that I'll be
posting probably by the end of the week.
See you,
Eric
