Thanks Jim.
Is there anything affecting the speed of area field in VID? I know for Petr
and I it is slow on our machines to type into when Area is large. You can
actually watch the REBOL catch up to your typing speed.
Last night I tried view on another machine (not sure of the speed). And on
that machine the typing lag was not noticible, so I thought there might have
been a flag in the new install user.r that made the difference. Maybe it is
just a machine speed and Windows issue (typing in BeOS on the same machine
seems fast enough)
Cheers,
