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"
