VanHell, I would recommend reading "REBOL in Ten Steps" and the "User Guide" from the website http://www.rebol.com. These are good introductions if looking at example scripts does not explain the way REBOL works. However, I can answer your specific questions here: You can find the structure of the header by the following: If you are inside a script with a REBOL header defined, you can do the following: help system/script/header It will show you which fields are available and which are filled in. Otherwise, you can use my %browse-system.r script which is available from http://www.rebol.org to browse the system/script/header. This is not yet very well documented, but we have several people working on enhanced documentation as we speak. Documentation is a very large task. If you want to do the array as you have below, you will need to use the 'reduce word like this: arr: array reduce [x y] This tells REBOL that you don't want to actually use the words X and Y for the array size, but instead you want to use the values they contain. This specification may seem like an extra step right now, but it actually makes REBOL very flexible and powerful when compared to other languages. You can send your own SMTP commands using the SMTP protocol. Look at the following source code to see how we do it with our SEND command: source send I believe there may be some examples in the How-To section of our website. Also, there is an example of a Telnet client on our website written in REBOL. It is called %little-bell.r and I believe it is either in the library or examples section. You can do anything you wish on a TCP port in REBOL. Telnet operates on Port 23, I believe, and therefore you can open a TCP port on port 23 and send/receive any commands you want on it. I believe IRC uses UDP which should be fully supported very soon. Using REBOL on Win95, you should have an icon for REBOL. You can double-click on this to start it, or you can drag a .r file onto it to launch the REBOL script inside the interpreter. You can also make a shortcut and leave the REBOL shortcut icon on the desktop in order to access it quickly. To launch scripts within REBOL, use the DO command. I hope this helps! -- On 1-Oct-1999/16:47:50+2:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >I have some problem when starting with REBOL: > >- where i can find thinks like the structure of the header of the programs: > >REBOL [ Title :" " > Author: "" ] etc ... > >- something obvious like using ; to comment ... it's not written anyplace > >- how do I use variables into a definition of an array and so > >x: ask "Number of X :" >y: ask "Number of Y:" > >arr: array [x y] -> error, why? > >- there's anyway i can handle connections like on telnet ... so i can programm my own >irc programm and to send an email but sending my own commands ...
