It is also possible now using private TCP/IP ports. REBOL has built-in
TCP/IP support and if AmiBroker had its own TCP/IP communication ports
it would be possible to talk with REBOL.
It is even more platform-insentive than PIPES (because for example
named pipes work only on WinNT, Win95/98 does not support them
natively).
I don't want to build TCP/IP ports in AmiBroker since it is pretty
low-level
mechanism and would require *LOTS* of work which will be better used for
implementing other features.

Yes, REBOL is similiar in some concepts to LISP, LOGO and FORTH.
