I agree with Allen, but I would expect FOR to be able to handle variables, 
eg:
	for i [1 to 5][
		for j [i * 2 to i * 3 step 2][...]
	]

What's the trick to getting the @ symbol into your username when 
checking POP mail in REBOL?

If you check the ML topic index  for pop, you'll find 


http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlFSJQ

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlQGBQ

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlQGBQ

Each of which contains the answer.

Which is :


 open [ scheme: 'pop user: "[[username-:-coxinet]]" pass: "password" host: 
 "pop.coxmail.com" ]

Yup, found an email you sent to the mailing list  referencing this 
just before you posted here... ;~>

So you answered my question before I asked it.  That's pretty good. 
;~>

I'm curios as to why do people use @ in a username.? I thought the 
rfc said not to.

In this case, ask Google why...

It's often because the ISP passes the user onto another pop server 
ie. the first proxies for the final pop server

Tiscali has bought many Provider in France. They handle email in 
@tiscali.fr, @freesbee.fr, infonie.fr ... with the same POP server 
(proxy?). So they need the full email as login.

Does anyone know if REBOL runs on Windows CE.NET 4.2 ? I'd need to 
use REBOL on that platform but I don't have access to a CE.NET terminal 
and can't use an emulator because there's no REBOL WinCE x86 binary.

This probably is a silly question, but ... What is the benefit of 
DO GET IN OBJECT WORD over just writing OBJECT/WORD ? 

I see this a lot in VIEW source (e.g. in DO-FACE) and related guru 
sources. I really don't see the point of doing so, be there *must* 
be a reason. Anyone willing to educate me? Is this a path evaluation 
issue?

Maybe the word is dynamic?

Oh, sorry, typo here: should have read DO GET IN OBJECT 'WORD - it's 
LIT-WORD!, actually.

Of course, there *are* differences, e.g. OBJECT/WORD doesn't throw 
an error if WORD is unset. But I'm uncertain on the exact reason 
why that idiom is used.

Dynamic dispatch of code, if the slot exist.

Still don't get it. Both 


 do-face: func [face value][do get in face 'action face either value 
 [value] [face/data]]

 do-face: func [face value][face/action face either value [value] 
 [face/data]]

seem to work.

o1: context [
    init: [print "Init code for o1"]
    eval: [print "Eval code for o1"]
    end: [print "End code for o1"]
]

o2: context [
    init: [print "Init code for o2"]
    eval: [print "Eval code for o2"]
]

eval-obj: func [obj][
    do get in obj 'init
    do get in obj 'eval
    do get in obj 'end
]

eval-obj o1
eval-obj o2

In your example the face may not have an action slot.

Therefor throwing an error instead of graceful fail.

Oh, thanks, now it's all clear. I tried with setting WORD to any 
value I could image, but not with object without WORD. As always, 
so simple, so obvious! Thanks again.

Kind of obvious after someone makes it obvious to me, though ;-)

That seems to be the norm with Rebol. But we are so trained to look 
for complex explanations that we skip the path of less surprise.

Plus, the behavior of object/word depends upon what datatype the 
word is set to and (for some datatypes) which version of REBOL you 
are running. If WORD is set to a block, OBJECT/WORD is the same as 
GET IN OBJECT 'WORD, while if WORD is set to a function, or sometimes 
a path or paren, it means DO GET IN OBJECT 'WORD. By spelling out 
what you want to do, you won't be as tied to variances in REBOL path 
evaluation and your code can be more general.

The real reason, most of the times, is what Brian says above: if 
you want to get a function value instead of evaluating it.

Yes, Gabriele, that's what I supposed it's all about, but since in 
the places I've seen it, the function weren't used as first class 
values, but rather evalutated. Jaime pointed me to another reason: 
the GET IN variant doesn't break if an object doesn't feature the 
wanted "slot". That really makes sense where code can't be too sure 
about the objects it handles.


Actually, though the guru code I mentioned was some of your changes 
to the view event- and modal system (I'm still working my way thru 
it, trying to understand it's pickier details) and other view related 
code snippets from cyphre, I'd really thought I'd better ask in core 
group, since it may come down to a more broader misconception of 
path evalutation I had. I'm happy to see that it's "only" the point 
Jamie made which I overlooked.

yes, the main point is that you are safer, whatever value is in the 
object. note that if the word is not available just using get in 
will break anyway in "older" versions.

>> system/version
== 1.2.8.3.1
>> obj: context [a: 1 b: 2]
>> get in obj 'c
** Script Error: get expected word argument of type: any-word
** Near: get in obj 'c

recent versions will not complain in this case (GET accepts NONE 
too)

i think in the VID case, the code is written that way so that it 
works correclty not only if face/action is a function, but also if 
it is a block (as it was in earlier versions of VID)

http: -> Circular forwarding is there any stable solution yet to 
avoid endless loops ? have tried to set different flaggs within the 
schemes object but can't  stop den endless loop. even read the messages-boards 
and found some hints but these doesn't work either. is there no flagg 
to set to prevend forwarding ? any hint are welcome... thanks

can you check port/locals/list? what do you get there?

hi gabriele, thx for reply. if I open the port, the loop instant 
apears. the only way to stop is to press escape... after this the 
port has no value.

Guest: you can try: port: make port! http://yoururlopen port  
 (after pressing esc you can access port/locals/list)

otherwise, just try with trace/net on. you'll get a lot of output 
but surely the answer will be there somehow.

Does anyone else find the fact that encloak/decloak CHANGES the 'data 
value passed to them confusing?  It sure has caused me quite a bit 
of headache!

encloak/decloak : I think it's a good thing for security. You don't 
want having both encrypted and unencrypted data in memory. Modifying 
the data assure that the unencrypted string isn't available anymore 
(if you don't explicitly copy it.)

Ah, I see.  That makes sense.

And it works the same way as replace or uppercase -- directly on 
the data.

rebol newby needs pop script to delete 1000 bounces from mailer daemon

the problem with the standard rebol pop protocol is that it doesn't 
allow you to download the headers only.

DideC has a script somewhere that allows you to examine your mail 
box and delete selected email.
I do too, but mine is part of a larger anti-spam package.
