Though I don't use Linux myself, I have an idea:
You use the pipe ( | ). So the Shell first executes "echo 12345" and stores
the output of the console (here: 12345).
Then it executes the second command in the pipeline ("rebol/rebol -q
hello-world.r") and attaches the previously stored value (12345) as an
command line argument. So de factto the shell does the following:
rebol/rebol -q hello-world.r 12345
There might be an error in this call. Rebol stops executing the script
without quitting the interpreter ("hangs"). But you don't see the error msg
as you started the interpreter with the quiet option set. Try and start
Rebol without -q.
