Hi, Andy,

My apologies.  I was not catching on that you meant in reference to file
handling.  I guess I should have figured that out from the context.
:-)

By the way, if you are using network reads, Petr K. figured out that the
following works.  Don't ask _me_ why.  It seems to be the only exception to
the rule about /skip refinement bug.  Curious.  It may be a solution to your
problem, depending.

port: open/direct/binary/no-wait/skip http://www.rebol.com/graphics/kits.jpg
100 ;skips 100 bytes

The thread that outlined some of the issues can be found (watch for line
break):

Good luck.
