   I'd like to run REBOL scripts in PN. I can't figure out the magic combination to put into "Tools | Options | Tools". What should I change?

   Name: Run
   Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\rebol\view\rebol.exe
   Folder:
   Paramaters: %d%f

   That looks reasonable to me, you may want to try instead doing:

   Folder: %d
   Parameters: %f

   This runs the tool from your file directory and just passes the local filename bit. One final thing might be to put the parameters section in quotes. What do you normally do to run a rebol file?

   This works from the command line:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\rebol\view\rebol.exe file.r

   Executing "rebol.exe" from the command line brings up the REBOL interpreter, and I can't get that bit to work in PN. Even if I had the filename and directory incorrect for the scriptfile, I should be able to launch rebol.exe. I can launch msinfo32.exe from PN just fine, for example.

   Thanks for thinking about it. I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious.

   Problem solved. Thanks to Nick Antonaccio for the solution. The trick is to put "+q" in the parameters, as in:

   +q "%d%f"

   This launches REBOL in "force not quiet" mode.

   It's possible that this only occurs on Win7 x64. Nick is on x86, and also is using a slightly older version of REBOL. Those could be contributing factors as well.
