Thanks, it is strange that also in the new betas 1.2.5 and 1.2.8 the bug is the same. About Copy/part, it does not work when you want to write to the file (the work-around is read-io, see http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m25388.html). Now i realize that also the only /direct refinement creates problems to the writing offset: write f: %myfile.txt "abc" file: open/direct f 1 skip file 1 insert file "k" close file read f ;== "abck" --- Ciao Romano
