Hi Laurent,

The problem is that infix operators are almost an hack in REBOL.
If you write your code as:
if 'file = get in info? to-file elt 'type [print elt]
it doesn't need parens; also, you never need them if you use
prefix operators, such as writing:
if equal? get in info? to-file elt 'type 'file [print elt]
The problem is that when you write:
get in info? to-file elt 'type = 'file
REBOL interprets it as:
get in info? to-file elt ('type = 'file)
HTH,
Gabriele.
