Hi Pete,

Under Windows all versions of the REBOL interpreter are called rebol.exe,
for instance. So you will have to either rename them, or install them in
separate directories. REBOL/View (if I recall correctly), creates a REBOL
directory in \Program Files and creates a view directory in the REBOL
directory. Core and Command would also normally belong in their own
directories. This may be important because you may want to have different
entries in the user.r file for different REBOL versions.

Everything that works in /Core must work in /View and /Command.

You could also call /Core files filename.r, /View files that include /View
specific stuff filename.rv and /Command files filename.rc. That would avoid
confusion as well.
