as an intermediate solution, you could always throw a tcl/tk front end around your rebol/command programs...of course you may find tcl/tk so easy to work with (and complete) that you end up switching to it completly :)

coincidentally, there is a tcl/tk roadmap (for the 'free' and 'commercial' aspects of the language) [all the rest of your points are easily covered by tcl/tk] the only real reason i added rebol to my language toolbox was the easy of net related programming. at the moment it's much easier to throw a tk front end to rebol programs than it is writing rebol/view... i would think that i'm not alone in saying that most programmers can't be tied down to one language. rebol offers quite a bit to programmers, but i don't find it the end-all solution to every programming problem. at this point i wouldn't want to maintain a rebol program much more than 50 lines long. it's taking me longer to wrap my mind around rebol than it did python. and unfortunately i keep bumping into brick walls that have no answers in the docs... .t *-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | http://members.home.net/tsummerfelt1 | *--------------------------------------------------
