Ok here's one more for everyone to ponder.  When you write a file in rebol 
that is somewhat large (around 1 meg or so) and then immediately after 
writing it you want to do something with it (email it, etc) I get an error 
message that the file is not there.  On inspection of the directory where it 
is supposed to be, it is there.  So I'm guessing there is a little delay 
between the time when you write the file (and rebol returns) until the file 
is really accessable.  So I put this line of code in to counteract that

while [not exists? file] []
to make it wait for the file to be there.

So now I can do things with the file, but not the whole file. When I email 
it it usually shows up as 64B.  So then I entered this line of code
while [size? file <> fsize] [] ; where fsize is how big the file should be, 
thinking that the file might get written to the disk in peices so I want to 
make sure the whole file is there before doing stuff with it.  This didn't 
work either, it did wait, but the file still doesn't come through complete.  
Any suggestions?

Matt
