An older version of Tcl (7.6) has apparently been ported to Palm. http://palm-tcl.sourceforge.net/ which is curious, given that base Tcl is larger than REBOL. My guess is that REBOL "expands" into the memory space far more than this older Tcl version, but I do not know the actual facts. Apparently, it avoids Tk, and uses the Palm OS "forms" for its gui stuff. Since I had the documentation open, I copied the following for the curious about what this looks like. Of, Course, I am wondering if a stripped REBOL, only essentials added back, could do a similar thing. Here is a prototype resource file for a form. FORM ID 500 AT (0 0 160 160) MENUID 550 NOFRAME BEGIN TITLE "Palm TCL Demonstration" FIELD ID 501 AT (10 20 140 80) FONT 0 NONEDITABLE MULTIPLELINES SCROLLBAR ID 502 AT (150 20 7 80) VALUE 0 MIN 0 MAX 0 PAGESIZE 0 BUTTON "User Interface Demo" ID 503 AT (40 120 AUTO AUTO) FONT 0 BUTTON "Address Book Demo" ID 504 AT (40 140 AUTO AUTO) FONT 0 END And here is the Tcl script that loads, unloads, and displays the form: set form [form load 500 -menucmd {menuproc %W %S}] $form set 501 {This is a simple demo} $form itemconfig 503 -command {%W unload; loadnextform} $form display Interesting!
