Peter,
This is getting into libary design. I too have libraries, and an include
function (I have seen the one below and mine is similar - writing an include
function in REBOL is really pretty trivial). My approach is to group similar
functions together into one library file, that way I don't have a zillion
files and I don't have to define every function under the sun when all I
want is one or two.
What do you want to use the "functions in different files" for? Ie how will
you be using them? Programmatically, from other REBOL scripts, or
interactively from the console? Programmatically, the 'include thing is the
way to go. From the console, I have written a %shell.r which I 'do in my
%user.r. This effectively extends the REBOL vocabulary to make the REBOL
console a more effective shell: things like 'cd, 'pwd, 'dir, 'rgrep.

Subject: [REBOL] Calling external functions Re:
I can't take credit for this function, but I've used it to "include" several
different scripts and use their functions:
include: func [files] [
either block? files [
forall files [do first files]
] [
do files
]
]
include %whatever.r
Many thanks to the author of this function! :-)
