Request for info via website

Dear everyone,
I have just tried out Rebol and am amazed with the amazing stuff it can do with just
a few lines of programming. My intention is to programme a script that can automatically
retrieve information from a website without me having to manually key in the query parameters.
Basically, there is this web page allows users to search the dates a 4-digit number has
appeared in the past draws. As I do not want to key in all 10000 permutations of 4-digit
numbers. I like Rebol to loop and submit search requests automatically on this web page
and save the returned results.
I have browsed through the existing srcipts in the library but can't seem to find/realise
any that could help me with this. Anyone care to give your comments or advice on how
I should embark on this project? Any comments is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
William

Whoops.
I just realized that the algorithm will miss checking the value for "9999".
Changing
while [e <> "9999"] [
to
while [e <= "9999"] [
should fix the bug.
Hope this helps. --Scott
