Writing GUI Apps Using the Red Programming Language

You're welcome! I actually rather interested in DSL creation myself and want to dabble my feet in this topic sometime. And I also feel that creation of dialects is rather obscure art for old-timers, and that there's a need for learning material.

With that said, I would appreciate if you'd listed what would you like to see in "How to bake DSL with Parse" guide of some sort, that would be really helpful when the time will come for writing tutorials and documentation.

Sorry, I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm aware what a DSL is (like View dialect), but no clue how to start creating one other than it has something to do with blocks and Red's homoiconicity. There needs to be a specific spot on the documentation page that gives a good overview with simple examples and finally a more complicated one. In fact, I hope they do that with all the planned additions of erlang like concurrency...etc. You know what I mean?
