Where Can I Find Details On PlugIns?

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of designing & testing a SDB Tools plugIn for 
developers, and I'm having problems understanding how this should be 
done.

I see in the Rev Dictionary and Examples plugIn where the plugIn can 
receive special messages (eg: revCloseStack, revPreOpenStack, etc.; 
but no revOpenStack); but so far as I can tell, my plugIn is 
receiving closeStack and preOpenStack, etc....so why are these 
additional messages necessary, how are they used, and why no 
revOpenStack?

I also note that if Rev is closed and I start it by double-clicking 
on a stack in my development folder that also exists in the Rev 
PlugIn folder, revPreferences is opened instead of my stack.  Is this 
normal?

What is the proper procedure for developing and testing plugIn stacks?
