Hi Carl, Romano, and Greg, Many thanks for the help! You guys never cease to amaze me.
I'm having to do some traveling, so can't program for a few days. I have more questions, but I want to play around with your code before asking them. Also, almost all my code so far has used Core only, so I need to study View a little (a lot! :>)) One question, however, I will ask now. Can Rebol manipulate unicode characters provided it doesn't have to print them to screen or paper? Or is this just not possible at all yet? Also, would pdf-maker.r be of any help in this project?
