Michael, I don't have a problem with Rebol being different as long as these differences are clearly stated. When I last looked, this was not explained in the online core docs. Rebol, whether intentionally or not, borrows from forth, and in that language, in so much as I remember, variables, functions etc defined within a different vocabulary are kept distinct from the main dictionary, and are only available by switching contexts. -- Graham Chiu
