I know enough about Rebol to not touch it with a 10 foot pole. I can't dig up much about Rebol dialects on their web page (which is unsurprising to me). However, the View dialect stuff looks as though dialects merely allow you to define new language keywords, which wouldn't be helpful to Lojban use at all. The Parsing section of the REBOL/Core User's Guide indicates that you might be able to make small changes to the grammar. I am dubious about how robust and powerful that feature would be. I would certainly be hard pressed to believe that you could, within the REBOL framework, modify its parser enough to accept Lojban. (Which may or may not be what you want, but I figure I'll throw it out there anyways.) - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
