I think I've missed your point there - a wide range of "internet applications" do not require a web browser, even on Windows. Rebol makes writing internet aplications simpler, but I don't quite know where the browser comment fits in there...

Umm.. I don't even use IE; I use Netscape on Linux and Unix and IBrowse on my Amiga. If I can possibly avoid it I don't use software from the Gatesian Empire.. Chris -- New sig in the works Explorer2260 Designer and Coder http://www.starforge.co.uk
