try to open the port at first
and then call your read function with it

when you directly use read on a path, i'm not sure that your 'open 
function is called

Ah, all documented in the wiki :)

OK lets try it better, thanks guys for lesson learned!

(Refresh, if you have the page open. I just fixed the formatting.)

But I think I'll refine the example and add an open? actor as well.

I made it 
read: func [port [port!] /seek number [integer!] ] [

		either empty? port/locals [
		open port
            	return Get-RIF port number
		][
		return Get-RIF port number
		]

and it works now

Btw Pavel, in my virtual-block scheme, the reason why I rebound the 
actors, is that I don't like to use nasty long path to acces my locals.

I hope close is in garbage collector as mentioned in wiki

And second is more speed?

It should be :-)

can't you 

return get-rif either empty? ...

or 

if empty? port/locals [ open port ]
get-rif port number

graham it is better thanks

we should rename this group to !REBOL schemes

but we"re missing a rename actor

we can use a proxy actor

Ahh.... I can rename :)

Pavel, the names for the get/put operations of key-value stores are 
PICK and POKE.

We have a separate !REBOL3 Schemes group on purpose. Please don't 
rename it.

We didn't have a separate !REBOL3 Schemes group.

We created a bunch of spinoff groups because !REBOL3 was getting 
too busy.

I guess you took the "!REBOL Schemes" too literally. It is "!REBOL3 
Schemes" Graham intented, and in fact, already renamed this group 
to. (It was "!REBOL3 Network Schemes" previously.)

intended*

OK, cool. That is shorter :)

Yeah. And more approriate :)

Wasn't this group orginally named "Graham's foray into scheme arcana" 
 or something similar??

scheme on you

Pavel, you were right the first time in trying to implement GET/PUT 
actors, but you got the names wrong. Try again with PICK and POKE.

get: :pick
put: :poke

Metaphorically, yes. Literally, that will break REBOL :)

basic: :rebol

I think the group name should be tweaked a bit more to remove the 
"Scheme" inside the bracketed part. I don't see the need to have 
it mentioned twice.

Done.

Any example how to process inputs from the console's port while processing 
other ports using WAIT ?

I looked at the source of the input function, but it doesn't help....

I tried to launch a task! to wait for other port inputs and to keep 
the console safe.
But WAIT seems not working inside a task!

Is this helpful?:

print ""
q: open/binary/no-wait [scheme: 'console]
count: 0
forever [
    count: count + 1
    if not none? wait/all [q :00:00.01] [
        wait q
        qq: to string! copy q
        probe qq

        print ["^/loop count incremented to" count "while waiting^/"]

        insert s: open sound:// load %/c/windows/media/tada.wav wait s close 
        s
    ]
]

Oops - sorry, didn't see that this was R3 Schemes group.

How to pass a received data from awake handler to actor level? I 
can do Print port/data it works, but I need return a value from read 
actor

you can't return data from the awake handler

you just can stop it

*only*

And you don't need to pass data, they both share the same context 
via the port parameter

Wow, lots of documentation on the wiki. That will be very helpful

There is alot of doc in wiki, but the examples is to be written yet, 
that is why I asked. BTW all the simply schemes at Graham Chiu's 
site  (il dottore :) simply doesn work for me, and yes I've upgraded 
make-scheme to sys/make-scheme for A110. Unfortunately the only scheme 
I know working is the http scheme, but it is too high class to I 
can understand the process.

daytime doesn't work??

I've tryed to make time scheme from your daytime scheme Graham, as 
I noted when I put print at awake level as You did for debug probably 
I can see the server response, but I'm not able to get response at 
the 
read time://server.site
== somenumber

There is missing the "; make something synchronous here" part :-)
