But I'm right in saying icons don't run their attached scripts when
clicked on, aren't I? (And other users, is this what you're getting
too? Is this what's supposed to be happening?)
Images do show in a window when you click on an icon though, however
this seems to be due to image %script.r following the icon
definition. i.e...
icon "Image" %bay.jpg image %bay.jpg
shows the bay image. The other script icons are mostly of the...
icon "Buttons" %buttons.r
variety, and don't seem to do any more than download the script. Do
they, like images, need more words to have the script run as well?
If so, what?

'launch is (I think) for starting another console session, (or perhaps
even launching executables? Someone probably needs to correct me on
this...), and I think I saw it's only to be in the commercial
versions of REBOL, (Command and such), though I don't know if that's
the official word.
'browse is in other Views and I'm sure is destined for the Amiga
version. It's for telling your web-browser of choice to load such
and such a webpage.
