    <p>You can have a look at the source of the <code>cd</code> function by writing</p> <pre><code>source cd </code></pre> <p>There you can find that for convenience, other datatypes are converted to file.</p> <blockquote> <p>"Why is a string name of a dir treated as a word when no such word has been set?" </p> </blockquote> <p>Rebol recognizes words by syntax allowing symbolic programming. It does not matter at all whether a word has been set or not to be recognized as a word.</p> <blockquote> <p>"[If] I set a word to a dir name but in upper-case, the get-word moves me to that dir and shows it in that incorrect upper-case"</p> </blockquote> <p>Some operating systems (such as Windows) try to be case-insensitive, assuming that this is more convenient for humans.</p> <p>Rebol string handling is also case-insensitive by default for the same reason.</p> <blockquote> <p>"Did anyone ever suggest that chdir could have all convenience and quirks and that cd expect a file correctly named ?"</p> </blockquote> <p>That is essentially what happened but in a different manner. There is a <code>change-dir</code> function which insists on proper (file!) datatype, while the <code>cd</code> function is a "convenience shortcut".</p>

    1. COYes, I can show him that ... but I have been showing him perverse aspects of Perl and some in Ruby and Python ( he still leans to Python or Ruby over Rebol or my personally preferred Curl + ObjectIcon ;-) My preference aside, I still urge Rebol for the group supporting it - as Object Icon is a group of 2 and Curl is now a group in Japanese and Korean who now seldom post in English.

    2. CODid anyone ever suggest that chdir could have all convenience and quirks and that cd expect a file correctly named ? That adds a word with fluff/sugar, but leaves the simple unambiguously simple. Convenience for Perl folks was used in early Ruby ... and may even explain its existence, as it explains Objective-C, I believe. But now non-C programmers are learning Obj-C ;-) I accept that http:// is understood by read without a % sigil/prefix ... are there cases other than {comment } where quotes are optional for strings intended to be string values ?

    3. COI use rebol scripts mostly to generate Curl markup ... but he will work with HTML5 ... I may prefer film camera, but I still suggest digital camera. Rebol has a great group ... that is real important for a newbie. Curl is not even on StackOverflow ... nor is ObjectIcon. I so try to set my preferences/bias aside. There is a YouTube on making just this effort at fair & balanced rather than "mine/ours is better". I also prefer Pharo Smalltalk, but would still recommend another version depending on considerations other than my preferences when it comes to Smalltalk implementations.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
