I think what you need for this is the windows "start" command, which can
deal with windows filetypes.
try this:
call "start rebol_flash.swf"
I haven't done much with the shell features of view/pro yet, but I think the
solution with DLL calls is the only way to avoid the black DOS box popping
up (at least with the current version of rebol).
