Yup. Same on my Windows version. I saw it work once I think.

I've just been trying the latest experimental View for the Amiga and
it's very, very nice, but while the Test Panel seems to work fine, (I
can move from page to page and get to the other REB site indexes),
scripts won't run when I click on their icons. They download fine
and run okay from the console, but not from the Test Panel icons.
And they should, right? (According to the FAQ.) No error messages
are given - just nothing happens other than the scripts being
downloaded. Anyone else having this problem?

I have to agree ... the new Test Panel is very nice indeed especially
now that I have a cvppc graphics card for the Amiga =).
The main problems that I came across with running the Test Panel is
that the Amiga version doesn't support 'launch and 'browse. I get
messages along the lines of:
--- Console session begins ---
>> launch "demo"
** Script Error: Feature not available in this REBOL.
** Where: launch "demo"
>> browse "http://www.rebol.com/"
** Script Error: Feature not available in this REBOL.
** Where: browse "http://www.rebol.com/"
>> rebol/version
== 0.10.31.1.1
--- Console session ends ---
whenever the Test Panel tries to use 'launch or 'browse.
Will these words be implemented in a future Amiga experimental release?

But I'm right in saying icons don't run their attached scripts when
clicked on, aren't I? (And other users, is this what you're getting
too? Is this what's supposed to be happening?)
Images do show in a window when you click on an icon though, however
this seems to be due to image %script.r following the icon
definition. i.e...
icon "Image" %bay.jpg image %bay.jpg
shows the bay image. The other script icons are mostly of the...
icon "Buttons" %buttons.r
variety, and don't seem to do any more than download the script. Do
they, like images, need more words to have the script run as well?
If so, what?

'launch is (I think) for starting another console session, (or perhaps
even launching executables? Someone probably needs to correct me on
this...), and I think I saw it's only to be in the commercial
versions of REBOL, (Command and such), though I don't know if that's
the official word.
'browse is in other Views and I'm sure is destined for the Amiga
version. It's for telling your web-browser of choice to load such
and such a webpage.
