'none in System objects

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. -Bo On 12-Feb-2001/9:22:52-8:00, [jeff--rebol--net] wrote:

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).. -jeff

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" Paul Tretter

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. --Scott

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. Paul Tretter
