Thank you again. You were right. I downloaded the alpha and things start
working.

Thanks for all your help.

The REBOL development environment is a mess of overlapping and
incomplete=20
versions of the REBOL.exe.

And it is not always clear when someone posts some code whether you need
to=20
download yet another REBOL.exe to get that code to work.

I suspect you have the official REBOL/View download from
http://www.rebol.com/download.html

(The official REBOL/Core includes 'attempt, but the official REBOL/View
does=20
not)

You could try a beta from....
http://www.rebol.net/builds/
...provided there is an appropriate beta for your platform.
....but be careful not to overwrite your existing REBOL.exe as the newer
beta=20
may break some code in existing applications.

Or you could define 'attempt as a function -- this is taken from a
recent=20
beta:
>> source attempt
attempt: func [
    {Tries to evaluate and returns result or NONE on error.}
    value][
    if not error? set/any 'value try :value [get/any 'value]]

That gets you past the 'attempt, but you may fail later if the code you
are=20
executing requires other beta features.

Good luck!
