Yes thanks..I am using Command.
After repeat tries, it suddenly started working -> the problem seems to be
with my machine. The Rebol console is behaving very strangely [maximize
minimize not working]. Win32 friday tantrums I suspect.
>>> call "rebol_flash.exe"
works ok but it flashes the ultra-annoying black MSDOS window for a couple
of seconds before the Flash standalone executable launches. This is *not*
acceptable. Anyone know how to avoid this? There must be a better way.
worse, when I try
>>> call "rebol_flash.swf"
It does not work. This is disappointing.
How to have Rebol to substitute for typical user clicking on a windows
filetype [registered to launch via an application, in this case the
installed FlashPlayer]
