Is this script running one windows? If so, a couple of comments: (disclaimer: don't do "Windows" that much currently) 1)I recommend the executable NOT be in the webserver folder area, how about ....\program files\rebol or even C:\rebol? 2)I believe that you need to modify the registry as follows: Add a new string value to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc\Parameters\Script Map with name of .r and data value of c:\rebol\rebol.exe -cs %s ; or wherever you choose to put the executable (see caveat above) ; scripts should run in \scripts or \cgi-bin and below Let me know how that works for you Tim
