A search for "cookies" in the Script Library will turn up several worked
examples:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?find=cookies
Assuming you want simplest type of session cookie
print join "set-cookie: " form now/precise
print "Content-type: text/html^/"
print ....your HTML page...
will create a cookie with a (very probably) unique data value.
And then later:
select system/options/cgi/other-headers "HTTP_COOKIE"
will access the cookie, if a browser has sent you one.
(It gets a little more complicated if you want to set expiry dates, or you
want more than 1 cookie per user).
