Thanks, I am honored.

context. That is not the exact citation, Carl said it right: "REBOL knows the context of words at execution time, but not the context of blocks, strings, parens, etc." This exactly says, that no "current context" exists, the only context information, that is available, is the context information "contained" in Rebol words. Any Rebol word has got its own information, though, so there is no way, how to meaningfully define the "current context". Hope this clears it a little bit. Regards -L
