REBOL for COBOL programmers |

This is the table of contents of a set of pages that explain the REBOL programming language from the point of view of a person who knows COBOL as his primary programming language and might have trouble understanding REBOL because of trying to fit REBOL into the paradigm of COBOL.
To make this look the way I want, I try to produce a table of contents down the left side of each page. I don't want to actually put that table of contents on each page because it would be a nightmare to update every page any time I add a new page. Therefore, to produce the table of contents, I use javascript to write it to each page. If you have javascript turned off, you won't see the table of contents on each page.
To allow for your desire not to use javascript, the table of contents is produced in one other place, namely, this page. Each content page will have a link back to this page, which you may use if you don't have the javascript table of contents down the left side of each page. The table of contents below is (or should be if I am on top of things) the same as the table of contents on the left of each page.
Therefore, if you try to display a page and your computer gives some warning about content being loaded and do you want to allow it or not, the content being referred to is a javascript script that will write the table of contents down the left side of the page you are trying to view.
These pages contain some code samples. Any code samples on this site were harvested from the main REBOL site or the rebol.org script library, or were written by me. You are free to have them to do as you please with them The ones on the REBOL sites you could have gotten yourself. The ones I wrote are free from any restrictions. Some of them I did write at my day job, and their freedom has been confirmed in writing by our legal department.
