Hi, Porter,
A file contaning something like the following works on my wife's website.
IE opens it as a webpage. /View opens the embedded REBOL script.
<html>
Hello, World!
<!--
[
rebol[]
view layout [text "Hello, World!"]
]
-->
</html>
That is a very clever idea that you have. I don't know why it wasn't more
obvious earlier.
