 [1/4] from: balayo:mindspring at: 16-Oct-2000 18:01


hey guys, at the prompt, I can type in
>>read http://www.rebol.com/index.html
and get the error, ** Script Error: read-io expected port argument of type: port. ** Where: read-io port/sub-port data port/state/num why do you suppose that started happening?

What proxy settings do you have? It could be something to do with that... Julian

I've got REBOL/Core 2.3.0.4.2. I think I must have redefined some words... using view, and an fresh copy of core, I got no error, (and that function worked too) I guess I should have considered that possibility before I posted... thanks,
