Hey! Neat trick, Ken! 
 
[... Tries it ...]
 
Oops! Maybe on OSX, but unworkable under Windows XP. Yes, the Home.mc stack  
launches but there is no mouse cursor and the font is shot.

Also, if I  did get it to work, I would never get the opportunity to use the 
Rev IDE. So we  would need a launch dialog along the lines of...

"There are 4 IDE's  available:
Revolution 2.7.2-gm-1  
Revolution  2.8.1-gm-1
Metacard  2.7.2
Metacard 2.8.1
Click to select the  IDE you want to use"
 
Until then, maybe I just leave all my MetaCard versions in separate  folders, 
let Rev do their own thing, and stop trying to rule the  Universe.
