Ryan: Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions.
The Rebol community seems very active on this list. I purchased and received "Rebol The official Guide", got some learning to do.

I haven't seen any that are packaged up, but this is easy enough to do with a process called encapsulation (aka Encap). Encap basically just makes your script an .exe, protecting the source--though not compiled. I have heard of people using this, but I dont have links to any commercial or shareware products. I think the majority of stuff produced so far is freeware, and I imagine many custom applications have been built too. I should be beginning my first venture using REBOL/View in a few weeks. I would be using C for the high speed image processing and hardware control, and View for the user interface and networking. I dont plan on using Encap though, as hidden source is not important on this one. > > > 2) Can Rebol View render html pages?

Also check out REBOL/Alliance. About $500 a year or so. Sounded like a good deal to me, but I cannot recall the details. > > > 5) Does Rebol/View support drag and drop from one "area" to another?
