Good to know I'm not boring everybody here :-)

I'm learning a new IDE.  I'm learning a new mouse (the Macintel comes 
with a buttonless mouse, with two buttons hidden away, and depending 
on where you click, you get one or the other of the buttons that you 
cannot see.  I've always preferred a one-button mouse but I'm giving 
it a chance.)  I'm learning a new OS.  Big changes all at once!

I also miss the Control Browser.  It was much easier to use than the 
Application Browser in the Rev IDE.  So for that feature, MC gets the 
point.

Right now I'm mostly doing point and click work.  Once I get back 
into heavy duty script editing, we'll see which IDE wins out.

One thing that baffled me... I could not find detailed info on the 
various preferences for building a standalone.  From what I could 
tell, the documentation that comes with Rev is limited.  And one must 
either buy, or download, additional documentation from various 
sources.

I can understand this for in depth scripting.  But to explain what 
the various menu items and preferences are, that should be built in 
and easy to find.  I never did find full documentation for the 
Standalone Application Settings.
