Hi all,
I'm currently trying to learn REBOL , and had some general questions
about style , and newbie questions, is their an IRC channel ?
Or how do I get an invite to the Altme REBOL3 World ?
Thanks,
Charlie

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.

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 ?

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,

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.

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!.

I'll set you up. Zap me a private email with:
* your full name (first and last)
* your desired user name
* email address
