You are right, all "revXXXX" are Rev specific handlers/functions and  
only available in Revolution.

...and that inlcudes "revdeletefolder" ;-)

Ehmmm, even if "revdeletefolder" was abailable in MC, this might fail,
simply because you are trying to delete a FILE and not a folder!

The good news: it will work the good ol' MC way ;-)
...
   if there is a folder theFile then
     delete theFile
   end if
