Alerting Variables
My understanding is that I can define a variable string like this :- f: field "abcdefghijkl" So why can't I alert that strting using alert f or alert f/text or alert to-string f or alert to-string f /text or any of the other possibilities. What am I failing to understand. Even if I use S: to-string f I still can't get it to alert me the original string.

Answered in topic "New Introductory Text and a Free Private REBOL Lesson", but something to be aware of here. You said "I can define a variable string like this f: field "abcdefghijkl" In that code, you're assigned the word "f" to a field OBJECT containing a text property "abcdefghijkl". Try this: R E B O L [] view layout [ f: field "sadafasdf" btn "text property" [alert f/text] btn "object definition" [editor f] ] In the editor, check out all the different properties (called "paths", or "refinements" in REBOL) which can be accessed using the "/" syntax (comparable to "." syntax in other languages). Then, check out: help system help system/view/VID/vid-styles/field Then run this script if you really want to explore REBOL: do http://www.rebol.it/romano/anamonitor300.r
