I'll answer here since this may be of interest to other RevNet users:

The revGoURL handler, and its two necessary support handlers, are copied
into the backscript that "Go RevNet" inserts.

FWIW, the only issues reported have been in Rev, not in MC or running
without the IDE in either Rev or MC, Mac or Win (I wanted it to be runnable
by double-clicking it if desired).

Also, all three of the people who've reported issues are power users -- I
know a lot of reative newbies running without difficulty.

It may also be a conflict with libURL -- make sure you have the latest
(1.0.8).  You can get it through RevNet's Stacks index, or from the Web site
at 
<http://www.RunRev.com/revolution/developers/interimreleases/liburl/releases
.shtml>.

RevNet includes a copy of libUrl 1.0.8, renamed as revLibURL in an attemot
to avoid conflicts.  But now that I think about it, I wonder if it might be
possible that some handlers are being triggered in one lib and other
handlers in the other lib, thereby having two sets of values in the
script-local vars used extensively throught the library.  But given MC's
description of how it handles load order for libs, that shouldn't be the
problem either....
