One thing I noticed yesterday when playing 
around, if I started a html file that 
referred to a .r file that had an error via 
the plugin a shell with the name 
Rebol/ViewDll came up - sure others have 
seen this already by now - I closed the 
shell, from then on in until I had closed 
every instance of my browser the plugin did 
not work. I checked my processes to see if 
this shell was running somewhere in the 
background but I couldn't see any reference 
to it. As soon as I fixed the problem, 
closed all my browsers (suppose this doesn't 
matter if one is running a Windows Shell 
where each instance of IE is running on its 
own thread, but most people ain't) and 
restarted the html file, the plugin worked 
on all example pages I had of it. 

okay that was interesting, hope that gets 
fixed. 

So then one of the things I thought this 
might be interesting for is to have Rebol 
integrated pages as ActiveDesktop items. I 
created a quick activeDesktop html page, I 
went ahead and put in my object tag and set 
the LaunchURL param to refer to a file via 
an absolute path (windows path) this didn't 
work, neither did referring to it via a 
file:// url, or a rebol path. Has anyone got 
this to work with a file path?
This by the way seems to confirm that a 
failed plugin page won't cause other proper 
plugin pages to stop working if run on a 
different thread, as checking various web 
browser plugins worked fine. I did get the 
activeDesktop plugin working fine, but only 
by moving the referenced .r file to the same 
folder as my activeDesktop item. 

I suppose the best thing to actually have 
running as an activeDesktop would be a 
modified view Desktop.
