[REBOL] Dynamically Changing the 'text of Button

Hi REBOlian:

A little problem I couldn't resolve right now: how can I dynamically change
the 'text property of a button ?

Let's consider this code:

<snip>

rebol []

view layout [
    b: button "First Text"
    button "Change" [
        b/text: "Second Text"
        print ["Button *Change* pressed:" b/text]
        show b
    ]
    button "Echo" [
        print ["Button *Echo* pressed:" b/text]
    ]
]

</snip>

I got:

>> do %test.r
Button *Change* pressed: Second Text
Button *Echo* pressed: First Text

And, of course, the 'text of b wasn't updated ;-(

How come ?
