It is relaxed for the Rebol session the script runs in. It is not something
that is associated with the script.
Conceptually there is a minimum set of permissions that your script needs in
order to complete successfully.
If the Rebol session your script runs in has a higher level of security than
what you script can run in you will get
the dialogue box popping up. Or if you are running the session in quite
mode, then the session is terminated because
it is treated as a failure.

I believe so.

Fair enough. The points should be made clear. Keep asking :)
