JoinNetwork(szIP string, port integer, szMyName string) → integer

Example · generated

Form 1, the short one

DO  Print(JoinNetwork("player", "player"))  Sync()LOOP

Form 2, with every argument

DO  Print(JoinNetwork("value", 1, "player"))  Sync()LOOP

JoinNetwork is called and its answer is printed every frame. The DO … LOOP is not decoration: a classic BASIC program ends the moment it runs out of lines, and Sync() is what draws the frame.
