I was able to get two instances of REBOL to talk to each other (in line
mode) by using the stuff in
www.rebol.com/howto.html
in the TCP Networking Ports chapter, "A TCP Conversation" section. Entering
the lines about the listen port in instance 1 and for the remote port in
instance 2.
I'm using a PC, a cable modem, and, in user.r, my set-net reads:
set-net [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail none none none ]
Now, here's my problem: I've tried to implement the "Basic Seven Line
Server" section from the above HowTo document by typing the doc's code into
one of the REBOL instances. But when I finish entering the loop's execution
block I get the rotating slash symbol forever, and have to use cntl-alt-del
to stop that instance of REBOL.
Am I trying to do something impossible with a cable modem, or what? I think
I'm bypassing cox@home's server and "going directly on the net", if that
makes any sense. With IE-5 and not using Cox's supplied software, I've been
unable to use their server, which chaches frequently requested URL's for
faster response.
Any comments would be appreciated and would help my understanding of REBOL's
messaging, which seems to be of paramount interest to most REBOLeers.
