Use of launch is limited to one level.
That is; a launched rebol program cannot
launch another rebol program.
If Ronald tried his program from the desktop,
that has already been launched once already.
>From the console it hasn't, that's why there
is a difference.
Try this in the console:

        write %test-launch.r {
                rebol []
                print "attempt launch"
                launch %test-launch.r
        }

        launch %test-launch.r

Only the first launch will work.

Launch is good for starting another
rebol process, though. So if a script
has permission, it could modify %user.r
just before using:

        launch ""

to start a new rebol process.
The new rebol process will use the modified %user.r
