[REBOL] forget the Advanced Port stuff again

Sorry Paul but I have to agree with most of the replys to this topic.
Your problem isn't really a problem with rebol, but just your stubborn
refusal to take a different approach. Some straight-forward alternatives
would be either:
users: ["Paul" "John" "Mary"]
ports: [?port? ?port? ?port?] << ie port objects
new-port: func [user [string!]] [
append users user
append ports open some-port-scheme
]
port-with-data: wait ports
port-number: index? find ports port-with-data
port-user: at users port-number
or a data structure like...
user-ports: [ "Paul" ?port?
"John" ?port?
"Mary" ?port? ]
would be equally effective. You could probably use an object to collate
user: port: bagel: etc: information in a coherent way.
