launch revisited

Thanks Jason Cunliffe for pointing out another way to run a script! ;) Here is what I learned about 'launch, so you don't have to: Here is a script example: rebol[name: %launch.r] view layout [button [launch %feedback.r]] This button will work if you: 1) Type the relevant line at the console. 2) Type "do %launch.r" at the console. The button will NOT work if you: 1) Run the script from it's icon in a file list. (i.e. on Windoze machines, double-clicking it's icon) I would still like it to run the third way. How 'bout it Carl?

machines, double-clicking it's icon) I suspect this is a Windows configuration issue - not a REBOL problem. I have my .r files default to open with UltraEdit, because these days the first thing I want is to read or edit them. But when I had first installed REBOL, .r scripts did launched. I believe you can modify if/how they launch in REBOL [which rebol.exe, security levels, etc]. Normally via Explorer you wade intot eh View menu and Fiel Types list.. wich I think is the offical way of settign the file systems stored in the tora bora registry caves ;-) I would readlly welcome wisdom from any experienced Windows rebolers about these basic options, especially how people stop rebol from spawning installation of itself all over the place. thanks ./Jason
