[REBOL] Re: Hitting the learning curve

Patrick,
Thanks for that.
Are there any particular examples that deserve
particular attention?
I'm intrigued by your 'text document.'
Is this document just your own notes, or Rebol?
Thanks,
Ged.

a console session to

|
| Very often, at this stage, some help is required
from the ML.

down waiting for me
