I've used 'dispatch in a basic /View chat script demo and it worked as
expected.
Try changing the port number to be sure nothing else on your system isn't
using the same port number. (If you are using windows kill off any other
REBOL processses that have accumulated in the taskmanager, they tend to hang
around if the View is closed but the ports weren't closed properly.)
read source for 'read-net, (which is used by 'request-download & 'read-via)
to see an example of 'dispatch code.
