Jim, No, you cannot call external programs with /Core, partly because of cross platform issues. REBOL/Command will allow external program calls, but it will not be as cross platform as /Core is, and there will be a charge for it as well. I have linked REBOL/Core to C programs using file polling, but I dont completely trust the reliability of doing this on a windows systems since I have experienced crashes that seem to be linked to this activity on a high use basis. A more reliable alternative would be tcp/ip port communication between processes. Maybe setup a PERL program that executes filenames sent on a particular port. Of course there are some definate security concerns if you choose to do this. --Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Dear list, > > I'm new to Rebol, and I'm sorry if I'm asking about anything that has > been > already discussed. > > I would like to use Rebol to call commands, e.g. "find , perl scripts > , nmap , and others" is this possible? > > I do not need GUI.
