World: r3wp

Thanks Sunanda!  2.7.8 has "body-of"; now I know about using third 
of an object too!  What I was missing was the "to-set-word" - now 
I am off and running again.

Sunanda, BODY-OF was backported to R2 in 2.7.7 :)

Brian .. what was ported is unclear to most people

The real R3ism was the FIND call, unfortunately.
>> body-of context [a: 1 b: 2 c: 3]
== [a: 1 b: 2 c: 3]
>> find body-of context [a: 1 b: 2 c: 3] 'b
== none
>> find body-of context [a: 1 b: 2 c: 3] [b:]
== [b: 2 c: 3]

In R3, the first FIND call would have worked too.

I can't backport the FIND changes in R3 without breaking compatibility, 
so it's going to be a standing difference in the future.

Jack, it is not a good idea to use the ordinal reflectors (third 
object and such) unless you need to run on an old version of R2 (pre-2.7.7 
with R2/Forward not loaded). It makes your code harder to read, and 
less forwards compatible with R3.

In R3 the ordinal reflectors were deliberately removed for security 
purposes (mostly sandboxing).

Thanks Brian!  Duly noted.  If R3 was at least beta, I'd make the 
switch w/o looking back.

New people should check group "Private Groups" for groups, they might 
be interested in to join. And then just ask to be joined, and it 
will happen!

Hello , I am new, just testing this inteface.

welcome!

How can i write a message larger than one line?

Click the "pencil" in the toolbar above the write line.

Thanks

I am an Amiga OS4.1 user, have had some contacts with Rebol when 
it first started up on this "mother" pmlatform and am very happy 
Reboll3 is cominbg back to it.

Any info on when View will be available ? Or can an older version 
of View be used with R3?

I don't think it can be used. It will probably be a while before 
the Amiga version resumes, as Carl, the main developer, is taking 
a break to work on other projects. We need some more development 
on the core of R3 before it can continue.

Again about this interface then

Can i use a bigger font?

I can't reach the resize button to reduce the window somewhatt. How 
can this be done?

Is it possible to do a search in a group or the whole of ta world?

There is an "aA" button next to the "pencil" button, but it varies 
with platform whether it works.

Are you using AltME on AmigaOS4.1?

No there is no AltMe version to download for AOS i am using my wife'sPC

The aA button works fine. I thought it would only affect selected 
text.

ok, if the window is too big, you can probably right click the task 
bar icon for the program and select "Maximize".

Ther is no visible effect.

When moving the window around, it seems to come back to its position.

At least i have 3 empty lines to start a message with now. lI find 
it sore on the eyes though when typing messages lionger than 3 lines
Remember the search question?

You can drag the write line bigger by the little ridge that sits 
above the buttonbar, if that helps.

Searching: Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner. If 
you find the message found during search is too old for display, 
click the Home button and Settings and increase the message limit.

Dragging the little white ridge allowed me to have 3 lblank lines 
visible gto start with. No setting to have a larger number of empty 
lines?

Searching is OK, thanks; I did discover the help info for the other 
buttons; Nice too

I don't think there is any setting for storing the number of empty 
lines at program start.

I have tried to create an own Altme World., without succes. Th problem 
is password related.

Perhaps you're using an existing world name?

Everytime i change the Master's password from "pass" to a more robust 
password, i am not able any more to vist the newly created World.

I think i followed the  AltMe guidelines and tried sequentially new 
worlds till i got a message that  i had reached a creation limit.

I did sent to AltMe a message asking to delete those failed worlds 
and explaining as here, what happened.Till now no answer;
Any idea what i am doing wrong?

I don't think i am using an existing name (used sevferall) aand the 
server confirmed that the names were free

don't know tthen

Next question then. How do i get tot the first messages of a group?

each client syncs on connection to download all the messages ... 
which could take quite a while

to see the first message you have to either use a 3rd party message 
browser ... or set your messages to a high number eg. 10,000 but 
that will slow everything down.

In settings I have 1000 messages per group

Seems i have a settings of 800
Looks OK to me.    
What 3d party browsers do exist?

several people have written them .. check rebol.org

DideC wrote one

hello

how can I remove the newline from the end of a file I wrote to? thanks.

my last attempt to connect to the room failed...

todun - read http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-6.htmlIt 
shows you how to handle a series.   Getting to the End, backing up 
a character, and removing it might work.   If you just want to remove 
the last character you can always do that in one simple line.  Remember 
to save the full series from the head.    If you are not sure the 
last character is a LF then you need to add a test ... still in the 
same line if you want to scrunch it.

Missed the solutions on Rebol School. Sorry for the extra churn.

@MikeL, thanks. I will try to make it work.

How can I make a file containing a tokens on each line be displayed 
one at a time in an info field(ie not modfiable, just readable) on 
the view when I click a button?

how do I make the data loaded from the file change to another token 
in the file when I click another button?

how to copy/paste in ALTME?

right click upon the message text.But - sometimes it does not work. 
You can also hilite the text by mouse, ctrl + c for copy, ctrl + 
v for paste ...

@Pekr, Thanks for your reply. I am using Linux. None of the suggestiosn 
you made work. Thanks though.
