Thanks Oldes. That is useful.

Yes, thanks. Have you looked into the opposite, having your program 
react to externally triggered suspend and hibernate events? Vista/7/2008 
has an api for that...
Oldes

no.. I use it just to play music and turn my pc to sleep  when I'm 
already sleeping :-)
But if I understand your question well, Brian, I was trying to turn 
off this waking up events in power settings as once I noticed my 
pc restarted itself after some stupid urgent os update in the middle 
of the night. I'm quite used to not shutdown completely so it's pretty 
annoying behaviour. I have not lost any data, but state of several 
consoles with history of commands which are not easy to write from 
scratch.

Ah, but that is exactly what the API is for. Programs are notified 
through the API that the system is about to shut down, whatever, 
and then those programs can save their running state and reload automatically 
after the restart and pick up where they left off. It happens for 
power failures too, if you have a UPS or laptop battery.

I had forgotten about easy-drawer Steeve (or maybe never saw it). 
Thanks for posting that.
Such power we have, so little we're aware.

I have to curse you now, because time I should be working is being 
spent reading and playing. :-)
Easy-drawer is FANTASTIC, BTW.

Well, I am surprised myself. I remember writting it from scratch 
in one night.
The code is really tiny
Gregg

Yeah, it's amazing.

Jerry: There will be English version of your book?
Jerry

My English is not very good. Writing a book in English is very difficult 
for me. I might need to hire someone to help me translate it into 
English and make it an e-book. Good news is, my publisher is willing 
to let me put 1/3 of the books in slideshare or somewhere like that 
to share with others when the book is published. BTW. The book is 
about 330 pages.
If Red lang is out in this month, I might be able to put an appendix 
for introduction to RED.
The Book is a R3 book, not R2 book.
Endo

I see. Please let us know when (if any) English version ready, so 
I buy one.
Oh it's for R3! I thought that it's for R2
I currently use R2 only in my projects, and training my team.

R2 doesn't support Unicode, so it's useless in East Asia.
Endo

Oh that's right.. Fortunately, Turkish chars are in first 0xFF, so 
I can use it.
Jerry

And I am not a REBOL guru like many people here, so I won't expect 
anyone here to learn anything from my book. It's a book for absolute 
beginners.
Endo

That means its for my team :)

You have been busy!  Let's hope R3 actually gets fixed and released.
Endo

And a book about Red when it is completed would be great.

Congratulations Jerry! I think Carl should get back to R3 at least 
just because of your book. Maybe you should try to send him an email 
about that?
Sujoy

Look forward to (an English!) version of your book Jerry!
Can Carl really be persuaded to get back to R3? Please?? :)
Jerry

My plan is to make R3 at least a little bit popular in China, so 
Carl and the investors can see the hope, and are willing to continue 
R3.
I've send Carl an email about my R3 book in China and Taiwan. Not 
sure he got the email or not.

Jerry, how wonderful that is. Thank you for doing that.
Gregg, thanks for the Split, I'll be using that!

Congratulation Jerry, I'll do my best to get a first Red alpha out 
this month, so you can add it to the book.

Sorry DocKimbel that I did contribute yet, but I fear I do not understand 
GitHub, I try to find a button to accept changes that were committed 
since I forked Red but I only find the pull request that I suspect 
to be for changes I made to be pulled by others. That could be a 
bad idea ;-)
I try to find a nice tutorial for Git(hub)
Kaj

You need to update your repository from your local command line or 
Git GUI
You're right about the pull request

Thanks to Maxim the first bug was already found and corrected in 
the mirror game.
Continuing from announce, maybe a world owner can cut&paste from 
there.

The loop is the check-oplossing (check-solution, opgelost=solved) 
When the first pair doesn't match it is not a solution. This is the 
working I meant. Better to say functionality.
Did you want good ones to be green or false ones to become red? Both? 
Red-green colorblindness issue for 10% of the popularity.

but the successful ones in bold white, they will stick out.  it makes 
them look lit as if a little bulb was lighting the number.
Arnold

so font/color: white it is, how to do the bold?
Maxim
29-Jun-2012
[94x2]
font/style: 'bold


or font/style [bold]  which you can pair with italic like so  font/style: 
[bold italic]
assuming you are using faces for the text, in AGG its a bit more 
work.
Arnold

Mmm, I wanted to change the font on  just 1 label, but ALL labels 
in the app now have font color white.
Kaj
30-Jun-2012
[97x2]
That's because font objects and other attribute objects are shared 
by widgets. It's one of the standard starter gotchas
To change specific faces, copy the font object
Arnold

That crossed my mind too, using copy of something but I couldn't 
find it, probably because I don't have a suitable font object or 
two to copy yet :-)

Very nice game! I got "Bad font style!" several times at the start. 
Which font is used?
