How? I have no idea what user.r does other than storing init data for things
about my puter.

K, that works:
>> http-port: open tcp://localhost:80
>>
>> insert http-port "GET /dctfiles_new\AA.htm HTTP/1.0^m^j^m^j"
>>
>> while [data: copy http-port] [prin data]
<html>
<h1>A's</h1> <b><sylables>A's</sylables></b> <br>
</html>
== none
>>
And that is what that file has in it, it's one line. What *is* that
"^m^j^m^j" ? Note the server accepted the slashes either way, that's my
fault, i told it to. What is "== none" ?Then i did:
>> http-port: open tcp://localhost:80
>>
>> insert http-port "GET /HTMLPrimerAll.htm HTTP/1.0^m^j^m^j"
>>
>> while [data: copy http-port] [prin data]
And Rebol spit out the 84K file of html. Why is this working and the "print
read http://localhost/HTMLPrimerAll.htm " does not work?
