Sorry, buti it completly escapes my understanding, what you are talking about? How do you want to run Rebol script without running Rebol? And what magic do you think runs your AppleScript? It is too, kind of an application, or at least library or just another system component. I have several icons on my desktop, which refer to running rebol script. Their command line looks like "c:\rebol\rebol.exe -si c:\path-to-script\script.r" What do you mean by platform dependency in regards to being able to execute rebol scripts escapes my imagination too. Isn't that you who is lost? ;-)) -perk- > > > On Sunday, August 25, 2002, at 04:36 , Petr Krenzelok wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> That's absolutly unbelievable.
