[h2 Using %view-buttons.r
[p Requires REBOL/View

[h3 Running %view-buttons.r
[p From the library with:
[asis/style/font-size:75%
>> do http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=view-buttons.r
asis]
or locally with:
[asis
>> do %view-buttons.r
asis]

[h2 What you can learn
[p This script is an introduction to the
**view** and **layout** functions.
[br Please see the [link http://rebol.com/docs/view-guide.html "REBOL/View Developer's Guide"

[p Both REBOL/Core and REBOL/View are available
**free of charge** from [link http://www.rebol.com/download.html "www.rebol.com"

[p REBOL/View gui building is **easy**.

[p One point is that **layout** defaults to placing
each element from top to bottom, or vertical direction.
This functionality can easily be overridden with the
layout keyword **across**, to place elements left to
right, or horizontal direction.  See the Developer's Guide
for more information.

[h2 What can break
[p Nothing to break here.
[h3 Needs REBOL/View
[p REBOL/Core will not have the **view** or
**layout** functions defined.  You will need to start
up REBOL/View.
