Wantid like to see a fully working multicasting tunnel in the same vain as mTunnel http://www.cdt.luth.se/~peppar/progs/ and related apps there. if java has them, i want rebol to have them too, including intigrated webserver for control/creation of the tunnels etc. while the exellent muticasting whiteboard here http://www.rebolfrance.org/articles/multicast/multicast.html and his rebol examples here http://www.rebolfrance.org/articles/multicast/sources.zip seem to fully work, id love you to intigrate this type of work into a fully working file tunnel, perhaps with p2p/DHT capabilitys for everyone to build from a good base for the future. imagine it, the ultimate rebol torrent muticasting app. NOONE'S done that before, perhaps we should show them how!. thanks , popper13-Feb-2006

Wantthe best looking example frontend for cli apps such as mencoder and recoder so they finally can see that using rebol/view is easy to write end extend. have all the setting/button names at the top off the script to make extending the basic frontend easy or perhaps as a seperate loadable file at runtime. we need to have a few working examples to point to so they can download and run, so helping the general user understand the power of rebol...............31-Jan-2006

WantDear Rebol Scriptwriter: I have an HTML page with a number of URL's on it. I would like to replace the names of the links ( e.g. http://www.newdata.org ) with the names of the documents ( e.g. "The Modern Data Organization" ). For each URL in my document, I need a script to fetch the webpage off the net and extract its title field. Then I need to edit the HREFs in my document so that they all have the new text. Thanks, == Joe == 27-Jan-2006
WantI was really impressed with Richard Smolaks' Rebol slideshow from the 2005 conference and was thinking 1. some "build" capacity in the slide - to have points follow based on user interaction 2. to have an audio file (mp3/ogg etc) play/accompany each point. - and yes - the intention is death to Powerpoint :)3-Dec-2005
WantHi, i really would like to see a simple way to move an object (for example an image or a button) using the keyboard arrows. Thank you. 23-Oct-2005
WantHello, I have been away from Rebol for a while. I switched to Mac OS X, and since I couldn't use Rebol/View, I stopped coding in Rebol. But recently I tried putting it on my server ... and it worked (Core). I know I shouldn't be surprised, but always thought it would be a pain to get it working. Anyways, now I'm getting excited about writing little cgi scripts in Rebol. What I would like, is to write a script which would allow someone using their browser, to "post" a large file, to a FTP site. Would anyone know a simple way to do something like this, or help point me in the right direction: http://www.net2ftp.com/ Thanks, jeff. 16-Jun-2005
WantDear All, I would like to ask how the printing works from REBOL. I cannot found anything about it! Thanks, Gabor Dikan25-May-2005
WantHello. I have a function generating HTMLs pages based on the filennames of a given directory. Unfortunately, I can't include the filename (variable) into an <IMG SRC=' xxx '> tag. The variable imgName is passed correctly to the function and I can use it perfectly but when I try to join it inside the tag I still has the imgName (variable name) and not the filename (variable value) needed. I can do it this way : . build-tag [img src (rejoin[imgName])] But would like to know if another writing is possible like : . <IMG SRC="<imgName>"> Thanks for any help.14-Feb-2005

WantI have the problem that there are many Java-programs around (backend code) that I must communicate with. Could you, please, publish one example how to remote-control a Java backend program (using sockets or whatever), so, that I can write a REBOL frontend and remote-control a Java program (running locally or on a server)? Perhaps this could evolve to a complete REBOL/Java interface? Many thanks and kind regards Franz Hoermann 13-Oct-2004

WantI am a Graphic Designer and would really appreciate a program that displays on screen, at the same time, all my active fonts as a word or phrase that I input. This is handy when we designers have to pick which of our fonts we are going to choose for a logo or heading.

WantI would like to see an example of how to download & display pop headers (without downloading the message bodies), and then delete a chosen message from the pop server before it is downloaded.
