Hello Sunanda,

Cute program.  But, the wait is loooooooooonnnnnnnnnggg.
Let me haul ass.  Also track my stats.  This way I can prove the point to
others faster. Meaning, show me numbers, with total plays, total wins.

I happen to be VERY good at dealing 3 Card Monty.  This is the card game you
see people in New York playing on the street corners (I wonder if it gets
its name from Monty Hall).  So I can "throw" the card (usually an ace among
two jokers) where ever I wish.  

When teaching the odds of this game (not 3 Card Monty, but Monty Hall
puzzle), we play about 20 times, at which point people finally believe the
odds of 2/3.

Some think I'm simply "throwing" the cards.  Which I only do for children,
and paying adults! :)

With your permission I would like to put a version of your Rebol app on my
personal site for future examples to others.  All source will remain in
tact, and with your comments, etc.

Reichart...

Nice stuff! Though I was a bit confused about the prize being a battleship 
rather than a car!

One quick point, staying focused on compactedness of code. If you have a 
web/reb site, you could put your images up on that and use 

load-thru 

to access them. So the script is just 3 or 4k, and the first time I run it, 
it downloads the PNGs. Later runs will find the images in Rebol's cache. 

You could even get the script down to about 1 K by compressing it, and
having 
the main program look like:

Rebol []
do load decompress #{...script...}

If anyone wants a copy of Mario's script (31K WinZip file), and it's already

tomorrow, please email me privately,

Sunanda.
