You mean something like "accept connections on port X with message Y"?

i am sorry not being able to help you with this problem.

But could you please explain the word "gefingerpoken"?

Sounds german, but isn't ;-)
(This is one of the cases where EVERY dictionary will fail...)

I might guess what it means from its sound and context,
but an explanation would be very appreciated ;-)

read from socket tSocket with message myMessage

Then in the myMessage handler, process the data and continue reading.

socket streams

[Robin-David Hammond]

I have encountered a problem with the MC environment. I wrote a script to repeat
forever and scan a socket for new input. it seems to HANG inside the script. it
hung far longer that the socketTimeoutInterval (now thats some CONFUSING
capitalisation)

result had to kill the app after 3 minutes of gefingerpoken got me nowhere.

what is the nice way to scan a socket stream for new data?
