+; Simple GUI's in REBOL can be defined with 'layout', a
+; special-purpose language (dialect, in REBOL-speak) for specifying
+; interfaces. In the example below, I describe a gradient background
+; with a text label and a button. The block in the button section
+; details what should happen when it's clicked on -- increment the
+; number of clicks and update the label text.
+
+; The 'view' function paints the layout on the screen and listens for
+; events.
