Yes, you are welcome to! I plan on putting together a little tutorial
for it, but if you were to do it youself as well, I believe that it
would help 'imprint' evaluation concepts for you.
(still working on evaluation myself)
:-) And just for the record... I'm also in favor of a rebol-recommended
pretty-print style when it comes to posting rebol code for public
access
