Thanks Allen, your cards example
is really helpfull for my purpose,
its my fault not to check all Rebol
examples before trying to code for myself,
anyways Im glad to know that there's
a very helpfull Rebol community in this List!
I still dont get some Prototype!s and functions
that Gabrielle and Andrew posted but I'll get it
sooner or later ;) (Thanks Gabrielle & Andrew
for your examples, you bet I'll study them!)
The way you use the path to retrieve
the card values makes sense for my
card game, at least, because that's
exactly the way I want to retrieve it values.
