*nods* It still has a few bugs. One, for instance, when it's downloading message board messages or headers, it effectively freezes all Artifact windows until it's done. However, I've so far found it useful enough to encourage me to pick up another coding language. Some of the biggest drawbacks to me for such things are human assistance and resources. Sure, there are books, but they tend to be pricey and not always cover the things you want - and often enough use language which dissuades you. 'REBOL for Dummies' gets me some times, partially because I don't know where to start (I started learning REBOL before I got the book), I don't necessarily know where to look, it doesn't have everything I'm looking for... *shrugs* Artifact should be a help. --Charles
