Here this solution, but, this must evolue because I've seen that rebol=20
employ
a keymap in the prefs.r. I've not finded explanation about the difference=
of
keymap =3D none and keymap =3D true. File: %prefs.r
In the solution here, you can use field in place of area and I've not=20
tested, but
it must work. And of course the character #"~" in place of #"^".
But, perhaps field and area objects can become one object in the future.

It is not THE solution, but it's better that nothing.
Try it with #"~".
There is better and certainly more simple.
