Seeking System port (sysport) documentation

Hello All, Im seeking for the lost 'sysport (system port) documentation. (R)egards, Norman. -- Conversation/lunch: "How do you Eat your Rebol in the Morning?"

Hi Norman, R> Im seeking for the lost 'sysport (system port) documentation. Carl posted a little example either here on the ML or over in AltME, can't remember which, but that's all I've seen so far.

Hi Gregg, Thanx for the exmaple, I also found the UNIX example, it contains exactly what I need, with some adjustments it should run...
