But not a real one...

    >> what-dir
    == %/c/rebol/view/

    >> read %./
    == [%public/ %rebol.exe %user.r %rebol.r %prefs.r %desktop/ %local/
        %test.txt %output1.tmp %output2.tmp %output4.tmp %edit-prefs.r]

    >> read to-file ""
    ** Access Error: Cannot open /c/rebol/view/
    ** Where: halt-view
    ** Near: read to-file ""

Note that the "Access Error" complains about being unable to open the
directory that I just read in the previous expression.

So something's still fishy, IMHO.
