Alan,
Ignore those guys ... they're still hung over from New Year! They're
talking about client side scripting, but RSP is server side scripting
to create dynamic html.
If you didn't read my response, then it's in the rebol.org archive.
I built a server application using Cheyenne that dynamically populates
the mailbox names etc using Firebird and ODBC.
