Just a clarifcation for REBOL learners.
Set used this way normally does set global words but only because the word
you give to Set is global in the first place. Give Set a word from another
context (a non-global context) and it will happily set that word in that
context - Set is not limited to global words. For example:
ctx-1: context [
word-one: 1
ctx-2: context [
word-two: 2
set 'word-one "one"
]
]
>> print ctx-1/word-one
one
