Hi Sunanda,


as you told the downloader did its job very well even under Core 2.3 and View 1.2.1 running 
Win 98 while the demo ran only under
View.


Under Core no real file seems to be saved on disk but the downloader script worked since 
I got this screen indicating a try to exec
the DEMO :

>> do/args http://www.rebol.org/library/public/lds-package-downloader.r"lds-demo1-package.r"
connecting to: www.rebol.org
Script: "Library data services: Download package files" (16-Feb-2004)
** Script Error: view? has no value.
** Where: if view? [
    lds-styles: stylize
    [

    ]
]
lds-dp: make
>> list-dir
rebol.exe  ropus.r


under View I got the ending message "The package is fully downloaded" and all files were 
downloaded into the current DIR as I tried
it first and then it was OK too when dumped into a second newly created folder.


The old Select File requester appeared (View 1.2.1) and I then asked myself how to create 
a new folder since no new button appeared

and I mustr admit I never found how-to (simply type the new name and SELECT it as for 
any other file to select just don't do the
job - with or without the trailing /)...


While the download was occuring, I also attempted to review the names of files that had 
to be downloaded but I could no more scroll

the list - can it be enhanced (unlocked) or is View freezing the displayed faces when 
it works downloading files?


The Online Help goes browsing the rebol.org web site and appropriately displays the needed 
HELP info.

Finally the DEMO script runs first class.

Great work guys !
Congratulations for all your contributive efforts ...
I really appreciate the resulting products set !!!

Regards,
Gerard


P.S. For the contest I must admit I would have not guessed right in 3 of 4 cases and 
even then I already saw Andrew's snapshot
before do if I want to play fair I got 0 of 4 cases ;-)
