[REBOL] Re: call/output to string bug in Windows

Hi Terry, On Wednesday, February 26, 2003, 2:20:56 PM, you wrote: TB> rebol [] TB> a: copy {} TB> view layout [ TB> btn [call/output "wn bug" a print a] A workaround is to add a PRINT before the CALL, i.e. a: copy {} print "Workaround for CALL bug" view layout [btn [call/output "wn bug" a print a]] I understand that having the console open is probably not a viable workaround for most applications; I think the only workaround in such case is to output to a file and then read it.

The bug has been reported and I hope to see it fixed soon too. (It would be nice to be able to avoid the MSDOS window popping too. :) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r
