Aha. Where I was going with that was I wanted to be able to pull down all my REBOL posts, which are already being moved by my original mail program to a subfolder (I didn't want to turn off that auto-move). So right now it sounds like I must do that in my Yahoo reader in order to access from REBOL. (I tried adding the /folder name as reduced onto the opened port!, and tracing showed that value referenced by a word 'path, but still no go.)
