Anyway this must work differently so there is a cross-platform compatiblity
issue.

I also don't like M$ solutions. Anyone else ? ;-))))) Maybe it is easier to
ask who likes it?

I agree that REBOL is more attractive. However I must wait until
REBOL/Command is released
since this is the first version which will be capable to talk to other
programs. (Yes I know REBOL/core
can talk to any program via TCP/IP but I don't like the idea to build TCP
sockets into AmiBroker)
