MC-REV Event similar to AppleEvent?

[RCS]

> What is the benefit of parsing an event rather than handling them
directly?

I need to be able to update a stack/card script in a standalone, and I
cannot because of the limit imposed. The stack script contains (mostly)
typical handlers (i.e. openStack, resumeStack, etc.) for handling messages
that are sent to the stack. If I had a 'single' handler in the script that
could handle 'all' stack messages, I 'might' be able to update the script
because the size of the script would be greatly reduced. I really wish
RunRev would allow 'some' things in a stand-alone for licensed users, or a
special license for increasing the script limit 'just a litlle'.


> You could, for example, have a frontScript

Since I already have a few 'idle' handlers running, I really did not want to
add another...especially one that parses 'everything'! Things are a little
sluggish as it is...

I am starting to feel like an 'abandoned child' on this list (or at least
the uncle that everyone is ashamed to talk about)...also, (maybe it is just
me though) any message I post to the 'RunRev' list does not go through.

I can take a hint ;-)
