System/Scheming

Thinking caps please.
Has anyone written their own scheme from scratch and plugged it into
system/schemes?
I've been looking at the code for the build-in schemes and I would like to
know how it all hangs together, and how one can create their own schemes for
use by a client or a server. I've a rough idea, but it would be great if
someone could explain it in a top down fashion.
Just dreaming of programs supported by downloadable protocols (bootstrapped
by http :) ).
Thanks in advance.
Brett.

just look at Kevin's email subjected to POP3 TOP topic .... He included Jeff's
special version of POP3 protocol in his message ...

Yes that is what got me started on this. Damned useful bit of code too (I've
been hanging out for that functionality for some time). But it is only half
the equation I think.
How/when is the handler called?
What needs to be set?
What functions are part of the scheme framework and what are specific to the
protocol?
Can someone draw it in UML (probably another topic in itself)?
Thanks
Brett.

Hi Brett,
Another shorter protocol that might be useful to learn from is the
http://www.rebol.org/web/dict.r
Implements the dict protocol as per RFC2229
Also these http and ftp protocols might be interesting too, find at
http://www.rebol.org/unsupported/
Cheers,

Thanks for those Allen.
Will have a look.

Also the nntp.r file that includes the nntp protocol should be very
useful.
