Antony,
I have been sitting on your message thinking how to reply.
I looked at your URL pointer and find it opaque in that I don't know of
REBOL and I am reluctant to pursue it.
I do agree with your comments about a single down loadable form for the
CookBook for those with BlackBox.
We are attempting to create extensions to HtmlConverter so that an exact
replica of a single .odc version of the CookBook is created in .html
(the CookBook may or may not be a single file).
This will take a little bit of time.
-Doug
