Help any documentation recommended?

Hi, I have been learning REBOL/Core on and off for the past year, using the PDF Core Manual, but I cannot find a similar manual for View, except for paper-books, which currently are out my price range! Any suggestions to learn the View Dialect? Also could you help me out, I am slightly confused about the term Dialect and script. Is a script the program and the Dialect a variation on Rebol/* allowing it to perform a more specific task, i.e database control, GUI system, external library etc? If so is there any documentation on creating Dialects as the core manual doesn't mention these specifically. Mine is dated Sept 2000 Ver 2.3. Thankyou Chris Mason (aka Nutter) [chrismason--ukf--net]

There are a couple VID and View usage scripts there.

A dialect is a specialized language which may, or may not, be a variation of REBOL. VID is a dialect which is very much *like* REBOL in many ways, but it is not exactly REBOL or a subset thereof. the PARSE function uses a dialect itself (a dialect that you use to build dialects :). Dialects are like domain specific languages - a term you may have heard elsewhere. There are some examples on the REBOL Forces site, and CodeConscious has some parse related stuff as well. -- Gregg
