Hi again Ronald,
What's happening there is the calendar.r script uses your window
(instead of opening its own) and the printing forces the Console to
open, (so it's got somewhere to print to), and closing either closes
down REBOL.
To have calendar.r (which I've looked at now) open its own window you
could edit its script's last line to open a new one. ie...
change...
view/options cal-face [resize]
to...
view/new/options cal-face [resize]
(Note this'll mean calendar.r won't run properly now if run on its
own, so use a copy.)
That'll leave your window as you created it and it'll remain active.
Which means you'll be able to run calendar.r again, though only the
most recently opened version will behave properly.
The reason the Console opens is because of the printing in the button
block. Remove that and it won't.
However, "do"ing other scripts you're not fully familiar with from
your own scripts is not good REBOL practice as there might be
conflicts. (They can share words, for instance.) A safer way is to
use launch. ie, with the unmodified calendar.r, try this...
rebol []
view layout [
button "Calendar" [launch %calendar.r]
]
With that your own window will stay open and running a second
calendar.r shouldn't cause any problems to the first version, either.
It doesn't stop your script from running though, but nothing else will
happen with it till you press the button on it (or other buttons on
it), right?
Hope that's getting closer to a solution for you.
