You can read bytes from system/ports/input, and if you convert them from BINARY! bytes to a STRING! of unicode codepoints you get something coherent:

>> to-string read system/ports/input
Hello
== "Hello^/"

But if you try writing to system/ports/output in Rebol3 you get:

>> write system/ports/output "World"
** Script error: write does not allow none! for its destination argument

The output port is a field in the object, but it's none. Running an ordinary PRINT command that generates output doesn't make the field get set. Where is it?

Also while on the topic, where is the stderr port?

Rebol3 Alpha has not completely implemented the standard output and standard error ports yet.
