Strange change of file associations with Rev 3-gm-3 engine

[Wilhelm Sanke]

Rev engine 3-gm-2 displays both *.rev and *.mc-files in the "open stack" 
dialog as "Revolution stacks".

Engine 3-gm-3 restricts the displayed stacks to files with the "*.rev" 
extension; even when you choose "All files" the display of mc-files is 
suppressed, but other files like dlls and txt files are shown.

It is even impossible to enforce the display of mc-files by typing 
"*.mc" into  the file name box of the open stack dialog.

Putting the Revolution.exe engine 3-gm-3 into the Metacard IDE shows the 
same restrictions: No mc-files are displayed.

However, when you rename "Revolution.exe" to "MC.exe", both "Revolution 
stack"-files "rev" and "mc" are displayed in the "open stack" dialog - 
like before in gm-2 with "Revolution.exe". This holds for both IDEs, the 
Revolution and the Metacard IDE.

The consequence for users that primarily work with the Rev IDE - but 
wish to access Metacard files once in a while - would be to rename their 
Rev engine to "MC.exe". This works fine within the Rev IDE.
