'none in System objects
[1/10] from: bo:rebol at: 12-Feb-2001 11:38
First of all, it would be a lot nicer if I rewrote it now. Also, it would be
even nicer if Holger or one of my other wonderful co-workers rewrote it as
it could be a lot friendlier.
The original purpose was to allow users to modify their system object and save
their changes to their user.r file, but it seems to have become popular for
browsing the system object.
Jeff wrote a much neater CGI version of the system browser at one point.

Rather than someone else at RT rework your system-browser,
since there's a few too many things to get done right
now.. maybe one of the fine REBOL developers of the world
would make a VIEW based system-browser (which of course
means that they'll have to create a really good lightweight
tree viewer in VIEW ha ha ha-- aren't I sneaky)..

Darn, Jeff, and I just wrote that file to a folder called /dev/null and I
can't find it anywhere!!!

Welp, guess you'll have to go in after it!! :-) Quick tie
this rope around your waist and in you go. We'll hold on
tight and pull you back up when you fetch it! (-:

Anyone know why I get 'none on every third item within System objects such as system/components
as in:
mold system/components/3
== "none"
mold system/components/6
== "none"
mold system/components/9
== "none"

Hi, Paul,
Good question. I've wondered essentially the same thing but from a
different perspective.
In reading the source, the "components" is a block. The values seem to run
in triads of a name, an make! object and then the word none. For example
the first triple contains, first, protocols, then the make object! and then
none. The definition in the make object! contains an attribute called Name.
The Name attribute is set to the same word as the first component of the
triplet. So I figured that are evaluated in triples, but I can't figure out
where the evaluating is taking place, unless this occurs at a "native"
level. I wonder if the native component does a select for each component,
does a make object and then ..... And I can't figure out the "significance"
of the none.
Later in vid-styles, a similar block structuring occurs, but in doubles with
no 'none.
I also hope someone who "knows" will fill us in if possible.
Just my 2 cents. And just curious myself.

Paul,
you get none becuase these values are set as none.
For best results exploring system-object see holger's browse-system.r script from the
library

But what values are set as none. I do see that this section is essentially
a block! Why is Protocols not a set-word! datatype. It seems that the
object wouldn't be set to 'protocols at all but it is. Which turns out to
be object! So the 'none is still a mystery to me.

The name of the script is OK, just credits go to Bo :-)

That's not Holger's, but Bo Lechnowsky's world famous and
internationally renown system browser.
