[REBOL] Re: REBOL Web Browser Plugin (Alpha)

That doesn't quite solve the problem. Then what you end up with is
one more step down the history path. For example:
You go to:
somesite.com/files/index.html
it has a list of REBOL files you can run.
You click on one which causes the browser to move forward to that page
and launch REBOL on the file. Now you have to hit the back button to
get back to where you were in order to click another file.
But if REBOL browses another page, or even the same page as before (if
we can get that information), then you do end up at the same page but
with one difference... if you hit back, you're back o nthe script page
and it launches again. You history would look like this:
0. somesite.com/files/index.html (current page)
1. somesite.com/files/script.r
2. somesite.com/files/index.html
3. somesite.com/index.html
So it's not quite right. Thew back button gets you into really big
trouble. The current NS plugin kind of does this but it prints out a
page with Javascript that sends the browser back two pages so you end
up on the _actual_ page that you came from. We can't yet get this to
work with IE as it does not support the call to the browser to print
stuff out to a new page.
