And second is more speed?

It should be :-)

can't you 

return get-rif either empty? ...

or 

if empty? port/locals [ open port ]
get-rif port number

graham it is better thanks

we should rename this group to !REBOL schemes

but we"re missing a rename actor

we can use a proxy actor

Ahh.... I can rename :)

Pavel, the names for the get/put operations of key-value stores are 
PICK and POKE.

We have a separate !REBOL3 Schemes group on purpose. Please don't 
rename it.

We didn't have a separate !REBOL3 Schemes group.

We created a bunch of spinoff groups because !REBOL3 was getting 
too busy.

I guess you took the "!REBOL Schemes" too literally. It is "!REBOL3 
Schemes" Graham intented, and in fact, already renamed this group 
to. (It was "!REBOL3 Network Schemes" previously.)

intended*

OK, cool. That is shorter :)

Yeah. And more approriate :)

Wasn't this group orginally named "Graham's foray into scheme arcana" 
 or something similar??

scheme on you

Pavel, you were right the first time in trying to implement GET/PUT 
actors, but you got the names wrong. Try again with PICK and POKE.

get: :pick
put: :poke

Metaphorically, yes. Literally, that will break REBOL :)

basic: :rebol

I think the group name should be tweaked a bit more to remove the 
"Scheme" inside the bracketed part. I don't see the need to have 
it mentioned twice.

Done.

Any example how to process inputs from the console's port while processing 
other ports using WAIT ?

I looked at the source of the input function, but it doesn't help....

I tried to launch a task! to wait for other port inputs and to keep 
the console safe.
But WAIT seems not working inside a task!

Is this helpful?:

print ""
q: open/binary/no-wait [scheme: 'console]
count: 0
forever [
    count: count + 1
    if not none? wait/all [q :00:00.01] [
        wait q
        qq: to string! copy q
        probe qq

        print ["^/loop count incremented to" count "while waiting^/"]

        insert s: open sound:// load %/c/windows/media/tada.wav wait s close 
        s
    ]
]

Oops - sorry, didn't see that this was R3 Schemes group.

How to pass a received data from awake handler to actor level? I 
can do Print port/data it works, but I need return a value from read 
actor

you can't return data from the awake handler

you just can stop it

*only*

And you don't need to pass data, they both share the same context 
via the port parameter

Wow, lots of documentation on the wiki. That will be very helpful

There is alot of doc in wiki, but the examples is to be written yet, 
that is why I asked. BTW all the simply schemes at Graham Chiu's 
site  (il dottore :) simply doesn work for me, and yes I've upgraded 
make-scheme to sys/make-scheme for A110. Unfortunately the only scheme 
I know working is the http scheme, but it is too high class to I 
can understand the process.

daytime doesn't work??

I've tryed to make time scheme from your daytime scheme Graham, as 
I noted when I put print at awake level as You did for debug probably 
I can see the server response, but I'm not able to get response at 
the 
read time://server.site
== somenumber

There is missing the "; make something synchronous here" part :-)

I think Christian Ensel's ODBC scheme is the other current example

Interresting, when I write to global variable at awake level everything 
works OK. Somebody give me a hint how to send received data from 
awake to actor level please.

An awake functions deals with events.
An event has a port  property.
An actor takes a port as input parameter.
Here the link.

If the port contains locals vars, they can both (the awake and the 
actor) access the port's locals.

And from subport (tcp) to scheme level port? Can low level awake 
write directly to scheme locals?

Sure, they both share a cross reference in their locals, like in 
R2.

Finally I've got it, so now I have a time scheme returning (RFC 868) 
integer number of seconds from 1-Jan-1900. I tried to define refinement 
/date to return well formated date!. But there is no possibility 
to define different refinement except of hadcoded one so I have to 
use /lines for that, silly.

Would you mind to show the interface/api or the actual implementation 
of your time scheme? You're probably (mis-)using the /LINES refinement 
of READ, but maybe you can instead use WRITE for that ...

ChristianE the idea arises from the fact the time server send only 
response and close immediately, so I only implemented Read actor. 
The problem is that you may not create a new refinement but only 
redefine one existing. 

time scheme needs a little polishing and will be posted to script 
library.

Anyway you are right the only possibility how to controll the scheme 
in wider borders is to write a command block and wait for reply. 
Another not so generall would be write into port state context and 
use this as switch for read actor.

prot-time.r was uploaded to rebol.org, now works only synchronous 
way ie: read time://your.time.server, server must be RFC 868 (port 
37).  basically it returns number of UTC seconds from 1-Jan-1900/0:00:00. 
When refinement /lines it returns well formated local time (using 
local timezone)

Graham, 1. where you put the R3 schemes (if so)? wik.is is definitely 
down. 2. I have to say your daytime scheme doesn't work for me (functionality 
commented out I think). 3. you can add prot-time into your collection 
if you like to.

Pavel, I would not be surprised.   I have not looked at this stuff 
for over a year.   Yes, wik.is is now defunct and so my site is gone.
