There are number of prefab requestors built in, make use of helps' ability to find from a partial word e.g just type ? req For a list of requestors. Whenever I want to know if something has been done before I use help. Another feature of help that not everyone knows about is its ability to find types e.g ? tuple! will return all the tuples, in this case they are all the predefined colors. ? native! and ? function! ? datatype! can be useful too for memory jogging. Other useful tools built in which help exploring REBOL are extract and third. Block of VID styles probe extract system/view/vid/vid-styles 2 Quick list of system object probe extract third system 2 Cheers, Allen K
