rebol.exe versus rebol.exe or view console versus console

When you are are a Rebol prompt there is an easy test

>> if view? [print "view"]

If the result is “view” then your console is a view console.
If the answer is none then you are running the console tout-court.

There are two implementations of rebol.exe found in two directories: core and view.
The core is about 200+K and the view is about 600+K

If you are exploring Rebol, the default is to start with view.exe in the parent directory of ./core and ./rebol

One advantage, as I mention elsewhere, is access to the command word editor.

And naturally to use Rebol words such as

view layout my-layout my-preferred-size

and the Rebol

desktop

environment.
