And I found what is causing the problem!
Here's Rebol/View with none of my Values scripts loaded:
>> rebol/version
== 1.2.8.3.1
>> script
** Script Error: script has no value
** Near: script
And here's the new Rebol/Core 2.5.6:
>> rebol/version
== 2.5.6.3.1
>> script
== none
The word 'script is used in Rebol/Core's start up and is set to 'none
_after_ %user.r is processed. That means that any script that assigns a
value to 'script, is going to fail under Rebol/Core 2.5.6.
The temporary fix for Rebol/Core 2.5.6 is to not assign a value to the word
'script.
The long term fix is for Rebol HQ to put 'script into a 'use block or
object! context?
