Be careful! Some of those numbers will crash MC/Rev (at least under Windows
2000). Here's the results I did in my "1-60" testing:

12-15, 29-30, 42, 44, 48, and 50-60 all caused a crash.
1, 3-4, 10, 17-18 and 49 all returned empty.

The rest are as follows (I hope the line breaks don't kill everything):
