Great script Renaud! this would do till RT builds in Object serialisation
into REBOL or someone writes a module/ Library..

Maybe this script could be of some help. It's intended to allow to save and
retrieve a word/value pair in a file.
It is an early version i've made while learning REBOL.

An example : I put the script in the word 'file, then save this word, give
it another value then reload the initial one.
the scipt is 845 bytes long, and the disk data only 443.

Any comment welcome

Renaud
