Ah - thanks Bo. Never realsed that. I thought it was something
specifically to do with REBOL.

Which may mean you're using NewIcons - perhaps. They look like this,
anyway...

It may have something to do with it, though I suspect it's more likely
a clash with your ICQ or some other program. I'm using AmigaOS 3.0
and find REBOL very stable.

Time (and probably a lot of it) will tell...

I have virus checking, but no, it's not a virus, as it's been there
from the start.
BTW, have you tried View yet, or only Core? All of Core is in View,
but it has a GUI for installing, so may give you different results.
Graphic will be very slow with it on Amiga though if you don't have a
gfx-card.
