Could the directory "core23" have it's version number "23" removed please? I feel it should look like: http://www.rebol.com/docs/core/rebolcore-16.html Perhaps it might be better to have: http://www.rebol.com/view/ http://www.rebol.com/core/ http://www.rebol.com/base/ http://www.rebol.com/ios/ http://www.rebol.com/link/ http://www.rebol.com/command/ ?

We've been wanting to do that, but it's one of those legacy things (search engine pointers, etc.) The time to fix it (and add web page aliases for search engines) will be when the next major update happens to the docs. -Carl

engine pointers, etc.) I've noticed with my own websites that when I change the names of various directories and pages to better reflect the content, Google (a really good search engine) is fairly quick with changing itself to better reflect the reality of the web. Basically, I just visit my own pages with the Google toolbar to help Google find the new location of the pages.

Hi Carl and all, Thanks for the update! Just noticed this in Email section: --------------------------------- 2.3.3. Access Refinements can be used with an email value to get the user name or domain. The refinements are: /user - Get the user name. /host - Get the domain. Here's how these refinements work: email: [luke--rebol--com] probe email/user luke probe email/host rebol.com --------------------------------- Nice! Was this ever mentioned in some docs before? I didn't know about that possibility :-) I have been thought about the path evaluation part : What do you think about this?
>> a: [x [y [z 5]]]
== [x [y [z 5]]]
>> b: 'x
== x
>> c: 'z
== z
>> a/:b/y/:c: 5
** Syntax Error: Invalid word -- :c: ** Near: (line 1) a/:b/y/:c: 5
>>
Is there any easy way how to set the value without recostructing the path like: do [to-set-path reduce ['a b 'y c] 5] If not, what do you think about implementing such simple path access format I mentioned above in Rebol interpereter? regards, Cyphre --- Original Message -----

format I mentioned above in Rebol interpereter? I'd also like this problem fixed:
>> x: [test/foo:bar/dot]
== [test/foo:bar/dot]
>> type? x/1/2
== url!
>> probe x/1/2
foo:bar/dot == foo:bar/dot Note that the second part of the path! value is interpreted by Rebol as a URL!.
>> x: [test/http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot]
== [test/http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot]
>> type? x/1/2
== url!
>> probe x/1/2
http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot == http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot Putting a URL! value inside a path! value seems illogical to me. After all, I can't access this with path! notation:
>> test: [http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html [dot 123]]
== [http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html [dot 123]]

Ah, I never read thru all of those "newer" docs :-) Looks like my old, rusty Rebol knowledge should be updated ;-)

Looks like there are more issues regarding the path usage...Would be good to have the path syntax more consistent in those cases. regards, Cyphre

What about renaming it and making a symlink from core23 to core, so that old links will still work? (I think this is what you mean when you say "add webpage aliases", if so just ignore this message. :) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amiga Group Italia sez.
