Hi Ed:
I (think!) that Andrew and I have both given you good information,
but they need to be combined. Here is a console session from
my machine:
>> Fred: Make Object! [ File: %Fred.html Text: "Meet Fred Flintstone" ]
>> ml [ a/href (Fred/File) [(Fred/Text)]]
== {<a href="Fred.html">Meet Fred Flintstone</a>}
placing the object members in parens insures that rebol will
evaluate them both before 'ml itself is evaluated.
Placing the braces around (Fred/Text) insures that the evaluation
of Fred's 'Text member will be placed inside of a proper combination
of opening and closing "anchor" tags so that it will be a "clickable"
link, which I believe that you are after.
Just to see the difference, try this:
>> ml [ a/href (Fred/File) (Fred/Text)]
== {<a href="Fred.html" />
Meet Fred Flintstone} ; which you *don't* want
If you still having problems, send your
code *and* the output from a console session.
HTH
