[REBOL] Re: Can this be done?

Hi Steven,

You're close! I stripped out the comments for brevity. You need to
turn the string into a word so REBOL can find its value, then use GET
to retrieve the value.

MSG-001: "This is message number one"
MSG-002: "This is message number two"

SHOWALERT: func [
    "Display alert box with message based on passed message number"
    MSG-NUMBER [string!] "Message number as three-byte string"
][
    MSG-ID: to word! join "MSG-" MSG-NUMBER
    alert reduce [ rejoin [MSG-ID " - " get msg-id]  "CLEAR" ]
]

SHOWALERT "001"
