There *could* be, but there isn't as yet. You could use this function (or extend it to do lots of useful things). It assumes you have copied the target URL from the REBOL.org notification email onto the clipboard. do-ro-script: func [ /local target ][ target: to-url read clipboard:// replace target "view-script.r?script=" "download-a-script.r?script-name=" do read target ]

That is supposed to work, but doesn't for all scripts. Part of the reason is that view-scripts.r escapes angle bracket characters....

....Sadly, yes. Two reasons: 1. some bad guys could upload REBOL scrips that contain (say) Javascript that attempts an XSS (cross system scripting) attack on your browser. 2. a script could legitimately contain HTML elements that would be interpreted by a browser; that could mess up the display of the script.
