[REBOL] ports and layout

From: fantam:mailandnews at: 28-Jul-2001 21:30

  Hello all,

  I have a layout with buttons that in turn launch functions which
  involve internet activity.
  As long as there is internet activity, gui events are blocked. I
  browsed the list archive and found many messages related to this,
  but I'm still confused.

  Do I have to use 'dispatch on network and gui ports?
  Should I wait for next rebol release with async feature?

  By the way, Allen Kamp's "View Peer Chat Demo" that addresses these
  issues seems broken in current /View:

REBOL [
    Title: "View Peer Chat Demo"
    Author: "Allen Kamp"
    Purpose: "Simple peer-to-peer chat in View"
    status: "prototype"
]

....

** Script Error: Out of range or past end
** Where: func [/local event][
    event: first event-port
    if event/type = 'close [quit]
    do event
]
** Near: event: first event-port
if event/type
>>

Thanks in advance, fantam
