Apologies for not responding sooner. Your message never made it to my inbox.
And, from reports from several other people, it may have been one of the
messages that no one saw -- the ML is not well this season.
Thanks for the testing on different platforms. Useful information

The problem with that is that it would end up doing one or the other --
returning either none or an empty string.
That may break existing code where people are running on just one platform
and have opted for just one of the two tests.
The problem isn't specifically with the code in the Library. It also affects
Carl's own version of the same code, read-cgi:
http://www.rebol.com/docs/words/wread-io.html
I think the solution is to add a note to both the script in the Library and
Carl's read-cgi to highlight the two possible results for null data.
I'll update the Library script, and drop RT a feedback message.
Thanks again,
Sunanda.
