[REBOL] input a bunch? Re:(2)
well, just using text: input will let you type a bunch until a Return is hit. --Ralph Roberts > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2000 10:30 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] input a bunch?

[REBOL] input a bunch? Re:
Um.. Read it from a file? Read it from an url? Read it from a Tcp/ip port?! If you mean you want a better user interface, then you could set a mini-webserver /cgi/ and HTML page for input :) or use Rebol/View and construct an interface with it. If you were using /view you could also read from the clipboard as well.
