Jonathan,

I'd nod my head in agreement to that last line it is annoying, but in a=20
pleasant REBOL kind of way.  :)

We still have to wait a few more sleeps, but there have been promises made=
=20
about simplifying Programming In The Large with REBOL version 3, and multip=
le=20
scripts in a project with argument passing will hopefully get a good work=20
over.  As well as making R3 more shell scriptable.  I look forward to a day=
=20
where I can log into up my GNU/Linux box with  /usr/bin/rebol  as the shell,
but for now those are just hopes and dreams, realistic hopes and dreams, bu=
t=20
still a few more sleeps before coming to grips with the true potential of R=
3.

R2 is capable of doing almost everything, but it usually involves=20
experimenting to make things fit and you have approach each problem knowing=
=20
that the solution you think will work my not be the solution of best fit.

Cheers,
Brian=20
