How to write a VERY simple server?

Hi,

I started learning Revolution today, though I have been programming in 
other languages such as Java for many years before. What I'd like to do 
is create a simple chat program. I managed to write the client part and 
send a message to a Java server application, but I just cannot build a 
server. All the server has to do is listen to connections on port 5001, 
accept a connection, read from the socket until linefeed and then 
terminate the connection. After that it should put the text in some field 
for display.

I did search through your list and saw a few examples, but they didn't 
work. There was also a link to a ZIP-ed chat program source which I 
downloaded, but the file was corrupted.

So could someone please just type down the source of a simple server 
script? On the Runtime's site they say you can write a client/server with 
just a few lines, so I'm sure it's very simple, but I cannot figure it out.

Thanks, Csaba
