Hi there. Does anyone have a list of the procs and/or functions that the Net "class" has (who knows how those set of procs are called in Turing.. haha)

I think I should explain a bit more..
for example, the line:

Net.LocalAddress

gets the ip address of the computer. What I am requesting is a list of this functions in the Net "set"... Does anyone know?

Post subject:  Send data

Ok, I thought I could find a function to send data to the other computer or something... anyways.

I tried the "netchat" program but seems that it doesn't work properly. It stablishes the conection but there is no text sent/recieved. Is this a problem on my computer? or there is something wrong with the program?

Is the command to send data to the other computer...

put: <var>, <data>

where var is the int used to open the net conection and data is whatever is being passed, right?

yes, you are right about command use

it might not work if one of computers has a firewall

also not all versions of turing support Net.
v3.1 can't compile Net properly.
