Thanks!

Uh.  It does for me.  In some contexts I have to click browse and 
then arrow to see the affect.

Control click on a window that is modeless does nothing.  The 
object menu allows me to get to the card and stack properties under 
some conditions--when no topLevel is available?  But, stack 
properties don't control style.  I found two ways:

1.  Type in a line in the message box.
2.  Ta-Dah!  The GO menu comes alive in the Application Overview if 
a stack is selected.  It does just what I want!  Cool!

I've been having trouble editing the revExample plugin.  I have no 
control-click menu and in most contexts can't get to the card or 
stack properties.  The style is topLevel and cantModify is false, 
so I'm baffled.  I'll put this aside for now.

I might settle on putting text into the clipboard until the plugins 
get an SDK interface.
