[REBOL] Re: [port/skip]

Hi Carl,
indeed I experience exactly the same phenomenon! CPU goes to 100% and I have
to kill REBOL because it's stuck somewhere.
I'm running Win2k with all service packs / updates applied and REBOL/View
1.2.46.3.1.
Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards,

REBOL totally locks up when I attempt this kind of thing... (Taken from the
Users' Guide:
http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-14.html#section-8.4)...

Ctrl/Alt/Delete to shut REBOL down. Using Win98SE. Is it the same for
other Windows users?
