[REBOL] wait on system/port/input

From: m::koopmans2::chello::nl at: 20-Aug-2001 9:16


Hi All,

I would like to wait on system/port/input.

Consider the following piece of code:

a: system/ports/input
txt: copy {}

forever
[
    wait a
    b: copy {a}
    either "-" = b
    [ do txt txt: copy {} ]
    [append txt b]
]

which I thought would append characters to txt, and do txt when you type "-"

What happens: everything is appended to "txt", but the do is never done.

Why I want this with 'wait: console input mixing with networs serving! Aka:
the Rugby Console....

Any ideas?
