waht is the difference between a port and a port ?

Hi there ,
    
what is the difference between a rebol language
port and
    
the computer ports - the local ports such like
                     TCP UDP Ports.
    
The same name port and port makes someone to think
about that.
    
Regards
MH

probe a rebol port and you'll see.

Rebol ports generally represent some data source/target which can be manipulated using familiar series functions and object constructs. Network ports are one such source, but email accounts, the local file system, sound device, and others can be opened and closed as ports. Ports typically provide fine grained access/info/control over each data value and/or property of a port. Take a look at:
