Hi Tim, Best way to learn what is in the system object, is to use Bo's browse-system.r script from Rebol.org archives. http://www.rebol.org/utility/browse-system.r. Many of the entries in the system can also be accessed through mezzanine functions. e.g source what-dir what-dir: func [ "Prints the active directory path" ][system/script/path ] The note on not using source system is in the FAQ. http://www.rebol.com/faq.html >From the FAQ " Q. I find that when I type SOURCE SYSTEM, SOURCE REBOL, or PRINT SYSTEM, the computer will lock up. Why? A. Viewing the system object should only be done with care. Future revisions of the system object are going to change, therefore, use the mezzanine level functions to access system object information when possible. With that said, here is an example of viewing the system object: >> print mold first system [self version product words options user script console ports network schemes error standard] >> print system/product Core WARNING: DO NOT enter 'print mold second system' or 'print mold system' since this will cause the interpreter to hang.
