Whooo ho, Jeff, you are the messenger of some progress being taken even in
area of core technology development :-) Is REBOL/Express really so great
you folks are so silent last weeks? :-)

Does it mean they could be removed later? Or do you mean just change of
their behavior? What are these functions good for, please? :-) I tried
'get-on upon my mailbox port, but it does seem to want different kind of
parameter .... I was not succesfull even with file port:
->> file: open %novy.txt
->> get-modes file
** Script Error: get-modes expected modes argument of type: word block
** Near: get-modes file

And - what does this one mean? :-)

is the number of slashes correct?
There seem to be always something to improve :-) Now when above changes
will find it's way into REBOL/View? :-)
Very nice, RT, thanks for the update! Now how about other suggested and
really usefull additions as parser improvement, etc?
