I'm not a C programmer, but as far as I know there's no way to directly access
memory locations with REBOL. And going by my vague memories of discussions
about the issue in the past it could be very risky due to REBOL being a
cross-platform language. Meaning there may be subtle (and not so subtle)
differences in how REBOL stores data on the different platforms.

What were you wanting to do? There may be ways to do what you want already
built into REBOL.
