[REBOL] One more thing - Odd behavior with setting variables Re:

In this case paths is a block. A block groups a number of values. You've shown two values - both represent rebol filenames (see the Rebol user's guide - files -> names). The first filename represents a directory, while the second represents a filename that has a space between "blah" and blah2/ . The % indicates a filename. So here is an example combining both concepts that will read the "Program Files" directory on Windows.
>> read %"/c/Program Files/"
Hope it helps. Brett.
