About view 1.3 - Yes, I had thought that the new scripts written for 1.3 might not work...thanks.
About lack of console - If you use xterm or whatever how do you run scripts inside it. Do you have to call rebol each time? That wine option might work best.

I'm new to linux. where is this icon runner you speak of??? >=20 How did you start the scripts? I usually run my scripts from konqueror or whatever file-manager i use. Which shows icons to. I called that "icon-runner". On linux rebol uses the systems console, not a selfmade one. So rebol works pretty well from xterm (in kde "konsole"). But it can not open its own. So if you run scripts by clicking on the *.r -icons, you must tell the "runner" that the associated program needs a console/terminal around it. Hmm, maybe i a slow thinker, did you try running demos from rebols desktop? Then, ugh, there is a new rebol-version out, but only for windows (1.3). It has cool new graphics-features, and older rebols happily break,=20 because most scripts demo this features. And there is usually no warning, they just fail. But the windows-rebol runs in wine (needs real windows-fonts in ~/.wine/your-system-drive/windows/fonts), i suggest going with that. > Thanks >=20 > -Alan >=20 > On Sat, 2005-07-16 at 05:13 +0200, Volker Nitsch wrote: > > On 7/16/05, Alan Macleod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >=3D20 > > > I've been trying to get rebol to run on fedora 3 with a lot of > problems. > > > I can run some scripts from their icons but I can not get the console > to > > > open. =3D20 > > >=3D20 > > > Any ideas? > > >=3D20 > >=20 > > On linux rebol needs xterm.
