Hope you don't mind, but I changed the subject line back to yours to so 
we can keep better track of this.

If it's an engine bug, it's of interest to the keepers of the engine. 
Once we can pin down which line(s) in MC's Control Browser are at play 
we should be able to provide exactly what the need to do to address it. 
Moreoever, if it's truly an engine bug there's more at stake than just 
the MC IDE -- any script that uses a similar method to derive a list of 
controls will be similarly affected.

Thanks for posting that.  Looking forward to honing in on the root 
cause, but alas time is hard to come by for me this month....

I've added links to both the English and German versions to the 
Tutorials listing at <http://www.fourthworld.com/rev/> and the Links 
index at <http://www.fourthworld.com/rev/links.html>.  The latter is 
pulled into RevNet on the fly, so they should now appear there too.

Please consider also adding them to the Transcript category in Open 
Directory: 
<http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Transcript/>. 
Eventually the Links page at my site and in RevNet will be replaced by 
that listing once it becomes more complete.

Open Directory is the world's most extensive hand-editing web directory. 
  It's mirrored at hundreds of sites around the world, and its content 
helps influence the algorithms in Google, Yahoo, and other major search 
engines.  Adding your listing there is good for your site, and it also 
helps raise global awareness of Rev.
