I don't know how to pass args to the cmd.exe
I tried this
call {cmd.exe "start textpad"}

call "cmd.exe start textpad"

FAIL

do nothing except starting cmd

Go to the dos prompt, type in cmd /?

If the results of that are to complex for you, call Textpad directly.

call "notepad.exe" works for me

don't have textpad ...

Jeez i wasted my time to develop a script to launch remote commands 
from an AS400 on my PC using FTP.

And I fail on the finish line because CALL don't do the last easy 
part of the job.
T_T

Yes Graham it works with notepad.exe, something missing with textpad

Yes it does, you just need to look at cmd /? and start /? instructions 
if you are going to use those rather than calling Textpad directly.

I probably have to pass the whole path of the app

Yup.

call {"C:\Program Files\Textpad\textpad.exe" file-to-open}

Or something like that - I use a different text editor.

Ok it works, thanks Guys

you can call a batch script ..

so you're using a AS400 to remote control your PC??

So now, i can launch remote commands from the AS400 of my company, 
Great

a little strange to use ftp to do that, but it's the only protocol 
allowed here :-)

lucky it's not sftp !

yup

Ahaha

i saw some admin sniffed the packets i sen,  because someone tried 
to use my service

* I sent

Damn Admins

Nothing to do but monitor the developers

LOL

the reason Notepad works with a direct call is that it is in the 
system path in windows.  Textpad would not, but the path could be 
added, then you wouldn't need the direct path to it.

but when i start a console, "start textpad" works.

So, the default console has the path of the installed apps in his 
env.

That's because start references the app paths setting under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App 
Paths.

Not all programs register themselves there though. The run menu references 
it too.

Where can I find the most up to date port information for R3?

devbase .... aka the wiki

or ... even more uptodate .. ask Carl

DocBase is the wiki; DevBase is accessed through chat.

It could be worse: We originally referred to the proposed bug tracking 
system as BugBase, before we used CureCode.

I think I'm going to refer to them from now on as, chat and wiki 
...!

As long as you refer to the manual as a "manual" even if it is technically 
a wiki too, that will work.

I only make the distinction between chat and DevBase for technical 
reasons.

I think we should factor them .. and remove the redundant 'Base ...

That would turn them into generic terms, rather than the formal names 
for specific things that they are now.

As you can see the TRETBASE group has really been picking up - this 
is because I'm busy porting the older Tretbase DBMS to R3 and finding 
problems along the way so I'm going to post some of the problem here 
to see if anyone else is seeing the same.

try a rejoin using two binary values.

Looks like a problem with append:

	append "" ["a"]
	append #{00} [#{01}]

Note that join works (as it's not appending a block).

Already posted a ticket about that today.

Are modules working correctly?

>> system/version
== 2.100.96.2.5
>> import http://www.rebol.it/power-mezz/mezz/form-error.r
>> source form-error
form-error undefined


Also, are the Imports and Globals fields (as used in Gab's Power 
Mezz) supported? ... http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/concepts/modules-defining.html#section-3

Gabriele's modules aren't compatible with R3 modules, and the Power 
Mezz package is for R2 (so far).

Looks like just the Name field is missing ... missed that.

What's the easiest way (under R3) to write code like this:

f: make function! [[][
	cols: [c1 c2]
	data: [2 4]
	cmd: [c1 + c2]
	set cols data
	do cmd
]


without adding words to the global context? (and not predefining 
c1, c2, etc).

Use FUNCT to define the function and use cols: [c1: c2:].
