Example: you have a file with code inside of functions. You execute the code that you want to test from a function - let's call it 'test. You put "test" as the last line in the file. Then you run it from a file manager - OR you could also run it as a CGI script. I do that a lot when I want to capture a lot of output. You can then test your code from whatever editor you feel most compatible with. Emacs is a bear to learn. Nothing beats the interactivity of a console tho'. I am (I think) the first person to develop an interactive class on programmer using rebol. My great frustration was that the students students wanted the "bells and whistles" - i.e. drag-and-drop, all kinds of windows popping up and plenty of other stimulus and were not able to concentrate on small discreet portions of code. <rant>IMHO this is one of the reasons that my county (USA) is losing programming jobs - to much desire for stimulus on the part of younger generations. </rant> Gotta love the code.... Anyway, I hope we are being of some help to you Fergus. regards Tim -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
