Here are two remarks I have about the HowTo (section News) that I've found on www.rebol.com: http://www.rebol.com/howto.html#news.html 1) Reading things To get a list of all newsgroups: all-groups: insert np [newsgroups] To get newsgroups with "rebol" in their name: rebol-groups: insert np [newsgroups with "rebol"] To get newsgroups with "rebol" or "messaging" in their name: result: insert np [newsgroups with ["rebol" "messaging"] --- It seems to me that the examples 2 and 3 could run alot faster when searching in the results of example 1. How? === 2) To prevent message-ID from being regenerated if you are planning on posting the message to more than one news server in order to help propagate your message: np2: open news://some-other-host msg-id = insert np2 [post "Another message somewhere else" to "alt.foo" using basic-header keep-id] --- I admit I don't really understand the goal of this example, but from the text I would say that sometimes one wants to post the *same* message to another news-server. However, the example seems NOT to demonstrate how to post the *same* message, but a different one (text: "Another message..."). If my understanding is right, please post the correct example. === Best Regards
