Thanks. I'm happy to see it is appreciated. :)

Well, since before even knowing REBOL, I had dreamed about writing
a better DTP software
; it should have allowed TeX-style
typesetting for text, but the usual WYSIWYG approach to graphic
layout.
I think that dream still influences me. :)

There are some cons in doing it the VID way that make me reluctant
in doing so. (Have you seen the source of LAYOUT etc.?) Anyway,
the more I think on it the more I see the VID way as the best
compromise.
I'll have to think about this some more time.
Regards,
Gabriele.
