C> Or how do I get an invite to the Altme REBOL3 World ? This ML is a great place to ask questions, but I can also set you up with an AltME account if you want. I don't know if there's an IRC channel or not. -- Gregg

Thanks! Didn't want to flood the ML thought I'd ask first. Have a question on assembling a URL from parts, is this the "rebol" way to do it ? ----------- user: "charles" password: "foobar" mailserver: "mail.rebol.com" pop-url: rejoin [ pop:// user ":" password "-" mailserver ] ;mbox: open pop-url ----- Or is there a cleaner alternative ? Oh and I would like a REBOL3 World account please :D, how do I signup ? Charlie Gregg Irwin wrote:

try this : irc.glassbilen.net but it does seem to have anybody on it ? and there are several Rebol irc scripts

send your user name/Real name/email address and I or someone else will post to the admin and they will send an email with the invite

Hi Charlie, C> Didn't want to flood the ML thought I'd ask first. NP. I'd actually like to see more traffic here, since it's open to everyone. A lot of us spend more time on AltME and IOS, but not everybody can see those, so general discussion is very welcome here. C> Have a question on assembling a URL from parts, is this the C> "rebol" way to do it ? C> pop-url: rejoin [ pop:// user ":" password "-" mailserver ] REJOIN is fine for that, though most of the time people just use the direct lexical form; unless you have an - in the username, in which case you use the block spec format with OPEN. e.g. port: open [ scheme: 'pop user: "Charles" pass: "password" host: mail.rebol.com ] REJOIN is nice, in that is uses the first value in the block as the datatype to return, so starting with a scheme automatically gives you a url!. C> Oh and I would like a REBOL3 World account please :D, how do I signup ? I'll set you up. Zap me a private email with: * your full name (first and last) * your desired user name * email address -- Gregg
