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
