Can Rebolview build a comlete GUI since I didn't see any complex components like tabs,
RTF, etc ?

Hi rebolask,

I guess that depends on what you consider to be a "complete" GUI. Tabs
have been done by Cyphre and others, drop down menus as well. RTF
hasn't, AFAIK, but do you need it?
So, IMO, yes, you can write complete GUI with View. My REBOL GUIs tend
to be much simpler than the VB GUIs I built, but I don't consider that
a bad thing in an of itself. FTPGadget and AltME are good examples of
commercial quality UIs built with REBOL.

huh you don't need colored text sometimes that seems strange to me :)

Perhaps and surely FTPGadget and AltME are commercial quality UIs but forgive me if I
insist that if I want to write a commercial package with RTF fields what can I do since
I can't even interface with existing activex components :).
As an alternative would it be possible to use another platform (Delphi etc...) and use
Rebol as dll-like engine. I saw once a utility who could turn a VB.exe into a dll the
idea could be applied to Rebol (because communicating by TCP-IP between Delphi and Rebol
no thanks it will reming me of awful DDE-like stuff).
