Window Shape/Style

Your right, it definitely won't work! I also tried using this WDEF in 
SuperCard and it brought the whole house down. Revs handling of 
system WDEFs in general has me slightly confused. In SuperCard for 
example you can set the WDEF of a window to any of the system WDEFs 
(you can get a list of these from the system file using ResEdit) and 
supply an additional variable to specify specific window decorations

eg - set the wdef of wd 1 to "124,4"

I'm not sure where the numbers Rev uses come from?

Anyway, on MacOS <X it seems like the closest you're going to get is...

set the decorations of stack "whatever" to 16

which will give you an old style rounded 'desktop accessories' window 
with a black titlebar at the top. I've got no idea whether this 
particular window style is available on OS X.
